The celery and baby spinach are cooked!
Eating a raw apple, even without the skin would personally KILL me. I find that soft, pulpy, fruits--i.e. with pits vs. seeds--just need peeling and a little water in the fruit processor. Fruits with the stringer type of fiber, i.e. apples are the type that I'd cook first! Note/warning: peel everything!
I don't bother cooking berries.
I prefer a food processor to a blender--it more thoroughly and quickly breaks things down into digestible form. I just personally think it does a better job.
Kombu is a seaweed. Most natural health stores carry it. You just snip off an inch or two and soak it. I find that a little seaweed helps with digestion.
Re: salad. LISTEN TO YOUR BODY. YOU'll know IF and WHEN it may be okay, and if that's never THAT'S so perfectly okay!!!
Honour your body and heal! Salad/raw lettuce is a huge trigger for many people with IBS. Incidentally, alot of lettuces are good cooked, i.e. stir-fried. I love cooked belgian endive and radicchio and swiss chard and watercress--with a little broth and herbs, maybe a pureed squash sauce/topping or with some roast mushrooms...or a beetwhip...carrot/ginger zinger!!! Baked herbed potatoe croutons! Noodles, rice...
Just make sure that the fruit, if fresh, is a little soft--i.e. plums/nectarines/peaches/kiwis/mangoes. Sometimes, though, a little simmering brings out the natural sugars in the fruit.
