facebro29 272 Posted October 8, 2017 Anyone have any problems digesting lettuce. My dear goodness. Husband wanted to go to a Burger joint so I opted for a salad. Little did I know the lettuce was going to give me chest pains from hell. I had chicken, avocado, egg, bacon and lettuce. Dear Lord I thought I was a goner.

braydens.momma 34 Posted October 8, 2017 I don’t get pain but I can’t really digest it. Whenever I eat it I end up throwing it up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How far out and how much did you eat? chicken avocado egg and bacon, and your sure it wasnt possibly you ate too much food that gave you the chest pain ? 1 njgal reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
facebro29 272 Posted October 8, 2017 I'm a year out and I know what I can't eat. Lettuce gave me a problem at 6 months been but thought I'd give it another go. I only had maybe 4 forks full and I had to stop. Took an antacid as well to help with the chest pains. 1 njgal reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tenseintexas 182 Posted October 8, 2017 Lettuce does not do well for me . I am 14'months out and I can only eat about 5 bites and my stomach hurts . I still do it/ just when I have salad as a meal- I don't eat very much [emoji106]🏻 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

facebro29 272 Posted October 8, 2017 I usually have spinach because I can tolerate that but can't have iceberg lettuce. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

janedb 14 Posted October 8, 2017 This has been helpful, I am not a huge lettuce fan, so really not that torn up, but good to know ahead that it might cause a problem. I guess it would be better to “experiment” at home, just in case Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
itstime4me123 139 Posted October 8, 2017 I'm five months out and don't tolerate lettuce unless it's finely shredded like taco topping lettuce. I seem to do fine with small amounts of spinach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
