    Hi Ross,
    This is Mattie, I love vegetable, and fruits and it is what I eat most of the times. It has been almost a year that I started having problems with my gut. I started researching and I have learned that some vegetables have lectin that can damage our gut. For example, tomatoes, eggplants, potatoes, beans.
    I have read the book of doctor Steven Gundry. The plant Paradox and it has help me. What do you think about lectins?? Do you have more recipes to help my gut??

    Thank you so much and thank you for helping a lot people!!

    God bless you!!

    Ha ha, indeed. And our Spring in the Netherlands is still so chilly and wet I have made your cauliflower soup twice in a week! It is awesome! PS replaced the leek with fennel the 1st time as i didn’t have leek at hand and it was delicious too.

    Hi Ross,
    I am trying to switch to a “green life-style” . I have some issues though, as I have an errosive gastritis (with acid reflux and glossitis), I cannot eat some of the alkaline foods like tomatoes or even cucumbers which triggers heart-burns. I am confused as many of the plants, although alkaline, are not good for me.
    Also my MD (on gastro) recommended me to avoid almost all of the raw vegetable&legumes and fruits and focus on stews, pasta, rice, cow milk and cooked food in general.
    AND I do not really know how to make the switch.
    I would really appreciate an advise from you.
    thank you,
    Anca

      Hey

      The advice you’ve received is absolutely horrible. Consuming gluten, dairy etc. will mean you’ll never get rid of the reflux.

      The foods that trigger heartburn now are not ‘bad for you’, they are just sensitive right now. Avoid them while they cause a reaction…but there are SO MANY other healthy foods you can eat.

      Keep focusing on green, salads, veggies, healthy fats etc – your body will return to balance and your digestion will heal.

    Thanks for this Ross. I actually went out for dinner last night and ordered cauliflower and pumpkin soup and it was so delicious and filling I wanted the recipe! Now I have this recipe and it sounds divine and I can’t wait to try it. I think I will do this for dinner tomorrow night! YUM.

    As great as this sounds, rare disease patients need the detailed nutritional information regarding fats, sugars, carbs, and proteins especially. Can this be provided?

    • ross Reply

      Hey Carolyn

      I am in the process of switching to a new recipe plugin that automatically calculates all of this. Will take a while to upload all the recipes – but watch this space!

    The cauliflower soup recipe sounds wonderful. Would we use raw cashews in this recipe?
    Thanks for all of the info!!!

    • ross Reply

      Hey Karen

      Yep, most decent-ish blenders will be able to blend cashews to smooth, especially when cooked a little!

    Can substitute turmeric powder for grated turmeric and if so what are the ratios?

    • ross Reply

      Hey Liz, you definitely can – a cm of root is about a level tsp.

  12. Angie Rangel Reply

    Can you translate these to teaspoons or tablespoons? 1cm root ginger, grated
    1cm root turmeric, grated

    • ross Reply

      Yep, it’s about a level tsp of each.

    My chives are at their springy best- will be making this and sprinkling liberally with home grown freshness!

      …and also, not meaning to brag, but our winter is about the same as a European summer 😉
