Hi Bevrs; I seem to be able to eat salads alright. Although,since it is supposed to be a trigger I don't eat them as much as I used to. I love Wendy's salad but with all that is in it, Iam sure it would be a real trigger.

I haven't read every reply here yet, but also something, is the type of salad. Iceberg can be a bigger trigger then some other forms of greens.

Same here, but I didn't know it until I read "THE BOOK", (Frist Year). Only then did I try a little after a meal of lots of soluble fiber, and even then I chew, and chew and chew to make sure the digestive tract doesn't have to work to hard.

I'm also afraid to eat salad because of all the problems it has caused me in the past! I haven't had one in who knows how long, and I miss it sooo much. But if so many of you can tolerate it after a soluble fiber meal maybe I'll try it soon...

I noticed that my pic is gone! I think it has something to do with villagephotos, the website I have it on. Hopefully they'll fix things soon! I don't like being invisible!

I don't have a problem with salad. Then again I don't normally eat it plain, I always eat it with meals. Maybe does it matter what you put in the salad? Cause mine always consist of romaine lettuce, cucumbers, and tomatoes. And I always use low fat/fat free dressings, or I use a little bit of oil and viniger.

Lettuce salad, after soluble fiber (for example, after a couple of rolls--no butter--before a restaurant meal), is usually okay. I have to remember to ask for no cheese/bacon, though. Spinach salad, eegh. Summer before last I had two crippling attacks from spinach salad (this is right before I read Heather's cookbook). I don't think I've eaten raw spinach since....
