Ruby Tuesday's salad bar......

Does anyone experience GI tract trouble after eating at Ruby Tuesday's, in particular their salad bar? I've heard that restaurants with buffets like this use preservative sprays to keep the greens from turning brown.

I've had very small and light salads from this salad bar in the past 2 years (and on out of town trips to boot), twice and both times experience rapid transit time - extreme rumbling from the gut, signaling me to find a bathroom to spend a few hours in. First time I didn't pay close enough attention to these signs and was accessing a grocery store bathroom. This past time I knew better and was thankfully able to use someone's bathroom for 2 hours.

Afterwards I was cleaned out, similar to a bowel prep for a colonoscopy.

I wonder if my doctor would let me eat the RT's salad bar for my prep next time and skip laxatives? lol

Salad bars used to be sprayed with sulfites to keep them green. The key was they would glisten. This is illegal nowdays. The preservative is still used on cut or dried potatoes, such as boxed or french fries, even frozen, sometimes canned ones too. It's also in a lot of tortillas today.

I have a problem with ranch style dressing, which sends me to the restroom.
