Hello
I love salads, but limit myself to a mixed salad with meals once in a blue moon, as I think all the different types of salads are gas forming. I guess it depends on what type of IBS you have and what you can tolerate. If gas/wind is a problem than I would advise going easy on the lettuce! I come from a large Spanish family where every meal is served with a huge mixed salad of different leaves mixed with red onion, toms, garlic, olive oil etc... I love it, but if I can muster up the will power, I leave it alone as the after affects are really painful. Gives me the sort of trapped gas that rises and sits under the shoulder blades, really uncomfortable!
Most of the IBS books I have read, including Heather's, list it as a potential trigger food, but I think it may be better tolerated on a full stomach, hence eating after a meal.
Best Wishes......
