Default Met, acidophilus help with side effects?

I was wondering if anyone out there who is taking Met, also takes Acidophilus.

I always have a very bad intestinal reaction after I eat lettuce.

I'm sure many of your girls know what I'm talking about from experience.

Well, on a several occasions I have tried taking 1 acidophilus tab per day and I have noticed almost NO reaction to lettuce those times..

Is this some coincidence or could there be something to the acidophilus helping with the lettuce intolerance?

Please share your thoughts. I hope this continues to work, as I LOVE SALAD and salad is very necessary if you're dieting.

Berta -

Unfortunately I have no advise on this subject - but I am glad that you asked it! I love salads too and what you asked made me think about my experience just today :: I met my DH for lunch and I had a BIG salad, I no more than put my fork down when I began to have terrible pains in my stomach. I had to cut our lunch date short and I made a mad dash for home!

I've had a "sensitive" stomach for years and I have learned what I can eat and even sometimes when I can eat it... but now that I am taking taking met, it seems that I am having to learn all over again!

**making note about acidophilus**

The information here is ENDLESS!

Thanks again!
