Most of us probably don't think about cabbage as having a lot of healthy benefits, but there's where we are wrong. Cabbage was touted as being the best vegetable back in Roman times 2000 years ago.
So what is so great about cabbage? One of things about cabbage is that it contains glutamine which is an amino acid that feeds the mucosa of the rapidly growing GI tract. The mucosa of the GI tract is rapidly replacing itself and requires glutamine to grow properly. Cabbage is a rich source of glutamine and has been recommended for years as a therapy for GI disorders like ulcers, heart burn, GERD (gastric reflux).
Additionally, sauerkraut also is extremely healthful for the GI tract. The one thing that sauerkraut contains is that it is fermented and the bacteria found in it help nurture the normal bacteria found in the GI tract.
