Food Tolerences

[AmyC007 2]

Does anyone have trouble with eating salad?

[AvaFern 3,516]

Sometimes my stomach doesn't like lettuce, although it has become more tolerant as time has passed. My stomach hates salad dressing though and any form of oils, so I have to make sure that I order or make my salads without the dressing on them in most instances.

Lettuce in particular seems to be an issue for some people - who knows why, but it's just one of those YMMV things. I generally use chopped spinach instead of lettuce for its' somewhat better nutritional profile; I've been having salads with a little meat in them since around the end of the first month, The thing to do is to try the various components one at a time to see where the problem is, and avoid that food for now and then try it again in a few weeks.

Nope!! Eat it every day at work

I tried a salad today (lettuce and spinach mixed). I've been craving salad since my surgery (March 10). Unfortunately it was uncomfy to eat so for now it's a no go for me. ????. Will try again in a few weeks. I'm sad, salad is one of my favorite foods, especially in the summer!

I couldn't eat salad till 6-8 months out. I still get a little gassy and bloated if I eat too much lettuce at once, but I've kind of figured out how much I can tolerate and stick with that. The Caesar salad I used to get from my local deli as a single meal now lasts 4-5 meals.
