Hi everyone:
I am new to this board and have a question. I love salad and would eat it every meal, however, it doesn't like me. I get terrible stomach cramps and other issues (which I won't go into the gory details) but....
I have found with salad and when I am snacking on veggies...the end result is awful. Is there something out there like a digestive aide that I can buy over the counter???
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
I absolutely love this board and have been telling everyone about it. I find it very inspirational as well as informational.
What kinds of lettuce do you typically use? My mother can't eat iceberg lettuce, but she can eat spinach and romaine and butter (also called Boston or Bibb) lettuce. Butter lettuce is especially soft.
The same is true of a girl friend of mine - it's only iceberg that gives her the same problems as you describe. Also, how does shredded cabbage affect you? I often mix it in with my others greens - which seldom include iceberg btw.
I have noticed it with any kind of lettuce, iceberg, spinach, romaine..
I wonder if something like Metamucil or Citrucel would aid in my stomach digesting the roughage??
Advice Needed
