Which unhealthy food combinations cause digestion issues?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I read your query and understood your concern. First of all, there are some vegetables, such as broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts, all members of the cruciferous family, that are not well accepted by the stomach when raw.
