Does anyone else on here who suffers from stomach problems such as IBD, IBS, or ulcerative coalitis have any problems eating lettuce? I have noticed that lately I feel VERY bloated and I have also started eating way more lettuce and was wondering if there was a connection and if anyone else is finding this as well. Thank you for any help and advice.

    I have IBS and too much roughage can be an issue. I don't eat any more than one salad a day when I do and I've found grean leafy lettuce isn't as bad. Plus I skip the dressing - I'm beginning to think it adds to the problem because since I've stopped using any dressing I don't get as bloated. If you get too uncomfortable you should check w/ your doc on recommendations.
