Lettuce

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.

    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 ?

How do you know it was the lettuce, egg does that to me. [emoji23]


I don’t get pain but I can’t really digest it. Whenever I eat it I end up throwing it up

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]?

Ahh okay i love lettuce, only 3 months out well i usually do not had it in a while but that salad sounds amazing though .

I usually have spinach because I can tolerate that but can't have iceberg lettuce.

Iceberg’s no good for you anyway :)


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
