The general suggested daily dosage is about a quart [800ml] of raw cabbage juice to be taken about 4 times daily. I found that rather too much and I started with 400ml [100ml x 4].I noticed great improvement and after one week I reduced the dosage to 300ml [100ml x 3]. After about 3 weeks of the whole therapy, I decided to take only 200ml a day. Those with stomach ulcers or acute cases of acid reflux might need to take the full dosage.
I have stopped drinking cabbage juice since about 10 months now and I haven't had any serious reflux problems. For those who would like to try it, PLEASE NOTE that it is said to have strong impact on the thyroid glands [the more reason why I never consumed 800ml a day!]. Not to mention the stench - it is better stored in an air-tight water bottle and kept in the fridge. Good luck to all, and thanks for the great site.

Hi SArah from Brussels!
Thank you for sharing your first hand experience about the cabbage...I was wonderin if it is really effective...because I saw a couple of sites at the internet which states that it cabbage should be avoided by people with GERD. I have the GERD for a few months now..and taking PPI when necessary. I want to tally eradicate the medication but am quite anxious of this cabbage thing....Maybe I'll give it a shot..

Cabbage Juice for Gerd
I have recently been looking at the good uses for cabbage juice and am interested in buying a juicer for myself and husband. Since I have GERD and have been taking prescribed Meds for years for it, I now want to get off of them. I also have Hypothyroidism and am on meds for that. Can I take the cabbage juice regimen?

My condition was Ulcerative Colitis and the medicines given had such serious side effects I could not take them... However started drinking cabbage juice approximately a 1/2 cup every 8 hours. Brought a Juicer from Sears (62.00) and about 1 head of cabbage and starting drinking.... My condition was to see a colon surgeon if meds don't work.... So I'm not taking any meds and my condition after 10 days of just drinking juice is awesome.... Currently no more systems of Colitis and I will maintain drinking cabbage juice as a maintenance drink... I suggest you try this, ! The time it takes to prepare is no more time then it takes waiting on your drug prescriptions at the drug store... Go for it... results will be great.
Go for it!

Hi, I have been taking about 600ml (300ml twice daily) for the last 2 weeks. My gastritis symptoms have improved but I'm worried about the effect of cabbage juice on thyroid since I have read that excess cabbage juice can cause goiter. Is it true? If it is, what is excess consumption? I am planning to lower my dose and try drinking it for another 2 or 3 weeks to relieve the symptoms completely.
Any help is appreciated!

Vmotta from Los Angeles, CA Or anyone that knows this answer, it would be very helpful!
I know this post is from a couple of years ago, but is it better to eat the red cabbage than the green if you are suffering from hypothyroidism?

Recipes
Dice up, grate, or use a mandolin to cut up the following:
- 1/2 head red cabbage
- 1/2 head green cabbage
- 1 fuji apple
- 1/2 red onion (I actually use 1/4 since I'm not a fan of onion)
- 1/2 cup walnuts
- 1/2 cup golden raisins
- Put that all in a bowl, and then in a smaller bowl whisk the following dressing to put over it:
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (I put this amount and then add extra cayenne to each plate I serve myself)
- 1/3 cup greek yogurt (full fat or non fat is fine.)
- 2 teaspoons agave nectar OR honey (I use honey)
- 1 teaspoon fennel seeds (I used poppy seeds)
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt.
Mix that all up and you should be able to eat off of it for a few meals depending on how man you're serving. It lasted about a day between my partner and I, but I'll admit I ate it for three different meals as well as a few other things because it tastes so good :)

1 head of cabbage I bunch of celery
3 large fresh tomatoes/10-15oz. can tomatoes
1 bunch green onions 1 large onion
1 bell pepper 1 pkg. dried french onion soup
approx. 6 cups water 1 or 2 cloves of garlic
there are other variations but this is closest to the original. My recipe differs in that: 1) as it cooks I sub can chicken or beef broth and add water instead of the onion soup packet 2) I delete the tomato as the tomato /cabbage combo gives me heartburn. 3) I take 1 tbsp olive oil and sautee the garlic and onion first. 4) right before the blender I add my spices sage, parsley, blackpepper.
***** warning--if you have gallbladder issues delete the cabbage, I did not know cabbage can bring on a gallbladder attack**** (gallbladderattack.com)
using the blender method gives it a completely different taste and it brought my bs down from 180 to 100.

Just buy cabbage from any store, most are average size and vary little from one to another. I usually slice off about half an inch off any side of the cabbage and put it into a blender. I add about 1 cup of distilled water and blend for a full minute. I let it set for about 5 minutes and then drink it down, pulp and all.
The taste is very plain. The only thing that will bother most people at first is the smell. But its very easy to drink - not bitter or foul tasting. You'll only taste it if you convince yourself it tastes like it smells, which I did at first. You generally do 3 cups a day, spaced out, until you ulcer is healed, which is usually 4-10 days for most people. If you're not seeing a doctor, its best to continue a couple of weeks as the cabbage juice relieves the pain of an ulcer, which may deceive some people into thinking it has actually healed in full. Changing your diet to avoid foods that irritate your ulcer (fats for most people are the irritants) is also crucial to healing.
Cabbage may also work for other digestive ailments. A cup of blended cabbage juice contains millions of friendly bacteria. There is actually significant scientific evidence out there that supports cabbage juices beneficial properties for ulcers and the digestive system in general. It's a very cost effective treatment and is definitely preferable to harmful antacids.
