List of Vegetables/Foods High In Lectins & Cause Of Bloating – Dr.Berg

Download Keto Essentials

In this video, Dr. Berg talks about another reason why the person could actually feel more nauseous, bloated, and irritable when they consume certain vegetables.

It is because of something called lectins, a natural insecticide that the plant has to protect against insects and pests.

A certain percentage of the population is sensitive to lectins so when they consume lectins in certain foods, they would get more inflammation, bloating, nausea, etc.

Veggies High in Lectins:
• Kidney Bean
• Tomato
• Cucumber
• Peas
• Green Beans
• Chick Pea
• Soy
• Tofu
• Zucchini
• Nigh Shade (Pepper, Eggplant, Potato, Tomato)

Veggies Low in Lectins:
• Cruciferous – Arugula, kale, Brussels sprouts, cabbage
• Celery
• Carrot
• Onion
• Beet
• Asparagus
• Garlic
• Leafy Green
• Romaine
• Spinach
• Parsley
• Sea Weed
• Mushroom

Yeah but cruciferous veggies are notorious for giving gas... So you have very few options after that.

That’s weird... I always get bloated when eating the “low” group... :/

[Mike]

I think i will fast for the rest of my life...

[gloria]

I am not on keto, don't know if I will ever try, however I just LOVE all the information you give and the simple way you deliver them. Your videos are useful even for people like myself that are not necessarily doing keto.

My husband made me a tomato, cucumber, parsley, and onion salad with falafel ( chickpeas) it was was delicious, but my stomach was SCREAMING! It makes sense now

Most percentage of lectins die when we cook the vegetables or beans
Also for the people to whom cruciferous veggies cause bloating issue, don't rush your fiber intake at once, your microbiome might not be ready for it and the good bacteria are not ready to start digesting such big amount of fiber just yet. Slowly increase your intake of fiber so that your microbiome get enough time to adjust and evolve accordingly.
I know many people who can eat all the veggies in the world and still have no issue of bloating at all. It's all linked back to diversity in our microbiome.

OMG. No wonder I am always bloated. I basically eat regular salads (eg. Mexican mixed bean salad) with all the high lectin ingredients. Was so shocked to hear Dr. Berg lists them out because they were everything that went into my salad!

"Cant's" produce immediate negativity, "Can" produces favorable attitude so when I focus on what we CAN consume on Keto I see Abundance and zero deprivation with happy results of good healthy bodies and brains...Thank you Dr. Berg...Boise, Idaho

Cruciferous cause bloating for me too ;(

Unfortunately most of the vegetables in the low lectin list are incredibly high in FODMAPs, so not great for people who have FODMAP intolerance and are also sensitive to lectins. I find that FODMAPs cause worse gastrointestinal disturbances for me than lectins, as I have FODMAP intolerance. I suspect I have issues with nightshades (or lectins more broadly speaking), but FODMAPs are even worse for me.

I never could have started keto without your helpful and very informative videos! I only started Monday and I've already lost 8lbs in 3 days. I know it's water weight but I don't care! 8lbs is 8lbs. I also love your body type videos. I learned alot. Now that I know I have higher estrogen, thanks to you, I know what to do to target my problem areas. I can't thank you enough for what you are doing. Please don't stop making videos! Be blessed love.

[FREMMLICH]

And now, Dr. Berg, please also tell us the vegetable oxalate values ​​on the right side. Thanks you for help.

cruciferous vegetables have always been terribly bloating for me, this is because they are man made and not a naturally occurring plant. Beans, cucumbers and zucchinis on the other hand have always been fine.I agree with bell peppers not being so great though.

[deanosslewis]

Theres nothing safe to eat. Maybe dirt?

[maxibake]

Always have peeled cucumbers, they usually have wax on them. Yuck. Thanks for this info. Take care. 💖🙂🐶

I just started watching dr. Berg and he looks a lot older in this last video than he was just couple of years ago in his older videos....

[rockford]

I watched this rediculous documentary on Netflix called "what the health". And it attacks mostly all you talk about Dr Berg. Saying 1 egg is like smoking 5 cigarettes. It's so hard to believe this day in age the information we are provided is always so 2 sided. I think you have it figured out by the way.

[kalkeikuu]

Can you do a video on the cause of erosive gastritis that cause hypertension and diverticulosis.

[Nav_M]

We soak legumes overnight and then cook in a pressure cooker.
All lentils are also cooked in the pressure cooker.

As vegetarians, we can't do keto so controlling lectins in our food is what we focus on.

[adrena]

Oh, new Dr. Berg's video!...
I always say, OK, I'll just skim over it this time – and then still watch it all from the beginning till the end.
There's just sth about the way he talks that gets me to finish the video, lol.
