Lettuce?

Is lettuce okay to eat with colitis?

I eat it daily.....mostly romaine or field greens with coleslaw on top. There are different types to choose from that have good nutrients....icegerg lettuce has little flavour or nutrients. But in saying that, it's added fibre if one is constipated.

When Im flaring, I don't have large amounts just because it can increase bms and sometimes discomfort. These arent UC symptom related....just by action of what greens do.

When I was first brave enough to eat salad with UC, I ate small iceberg salads because I felt those leaves had enough substance that I could really chew them up well. Later, (and as Q said, when not flaring) I could eat most any kind of greens.

When flaring, not at all. In remission, pretty much daily.

I'm typically good with lettuce, although I am hesitant to have it multiple days. Cooked spinach though, is one of my go to's! Love it with garlic mixed in

Do raw veggies bother you? Does fiber bother you? Lettuce is both of those things.
