Salads

I love salads as well. I have had no problem whatsoever with salad. I do chew the lettuce up quite a bit but love salads

Can you all eat chicken. I thought chicken was hard to digest?

You can eat chicken, but make sure it's cooked using a moist cooking method-and try to never eat reheated (especially microwaved!!!) chicken. It's not a problem with being hard to digest, it's a problem with it being hard to chew well enough.

Small bites, chew, chew, chew.

I eat chicken three or more times a week and have never been stuck from it.

I love salads. It took a long time before I could really enjoy a salad but now I eat them almost daily. The trick I use to be able to enjoy a salad is ripping/cutting the lettuce into shreds. I rip it to little pieces and make sure I have enough dressing on it. I add eggs, cucumber, Beans, broccoli and so many other veggies so I'm not eating all lettuce. The more heavy veggies kind of help push the lettuce down. If that makes sense?

Also, another trick is that salads are not my first meal of the day since the first meal is usually the hardest for me.

I found the other trick is to have crunchy/chewy/larger veggies and Protein make up a greater proportion of the salad than lettuce, compared to what most people consider a salad being largely a lettuce base with a few other veggies thrown in.

I've also used fine shredded cabbage instead of lettuce as a base which makes for something different and more crunchy to chew
