Can I eat lettuce and cabbage or is that really bad. I been craving a salad for the past month but I remember someone telling me it was bad for the digestion.

Everyone is different but my Dr. said it is one that CAN cause problems but unless you try you wont know if it will bother you or not. Good luck

I'd never heard that until I just read your post. I eat salad almost every single day.

I think its more that lettuce is one of the more common foods that get stuck easily.

I can eat salads without a problem but I definitely feel a little uncomfortable when I eat the fancier lettuce mixes - you know the ones that combine rocket and arugula and spinach etc, all the different coloured leaves. Plain old unfashionable ice berg lettuce is WAY better for me. And my kids like that too, so that's what we use generally.

I do absolutely fine eating salads, as a matter of fact, I love getting salads from subway!!! Cabbage however... gives me too much gas and pain!!! I avoid it!!!

Like Jachut, I have to be really careful with the soft lettuce mixes, but a good crunchy lettuce is fine. I do best with romaine. It was recommended on this board a while back, and sure enough, I did much better with it. Cooked cabbage is no problem at all. I make stuffed cabbage rolls all the time. But I don't care much for raw cabbage. I'm not a fan of cole slaw.

I have had (knock on wood) no problems with any lettuce varieties or cabbage whether raw or cooked.

Love my greens!

I have never heard of problems from eating cabbage or lettuce. I do just fine with both of them. I usually eat a salad about 2-3 times a week, although there are weeks that I just crave them and eat them everyday.
