123crod 170 Posted December 8, 2010 Over the last 16 months I went through stages where I could eat shredded lettuce and long periods of time when I would always get stuck. Right know I can. Cheri Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phranp 46 Posted December 8, 2010 In 18 months not one problem with lettuce. For me it's a slider (with dressing, of course). My doc never mentioned it either. But, as it's been said ... we are all different. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
isaviolinist 11 Posted December 8, 2010 I can eat pounds of lettuce without a problem. I really like salads and I dip in the dressing instead of pouring it on top, so I usually don't use more than a tablespoon and luckily lettuce is so low calorie you can eat 4 cups and not make much a of dent in your daily calorie intake.
