I love salad but since going back on Met, I can't eat it. Iceburg lettuce give me serious GI "distress"....and I'm talking, the smallest piece even. It's awful. This is the 3rd time I've been on Met. The other two times I was taken off it for not being IR, even though it was helping my cycles and now I finally test IR so I'm back on it. Duh! I'm only up to 1,000mg a day and can't seem to get over the side effects this time around. I'm on the ER as well. Oh, I can't eat eggs this time around either and that's never been the case before. This is crazy. I finally need the stuff and can't seem to tolerate it very well. The other two times I didn't "need" it and had NO s/e. Figures, eh? lol

Have you tried Romaine? I had a big salad today for lunch with romaine lettuce and I haven't had any problems!!!

Just trying to help!

I've always thought that it was the water content. Until it started happening with romaine and spinach. It's sure is frustrating! It's kind of hard to diet without salads....I miss my chicken and spinach salads

then it probably is definately the fiber-i still eat it all but i have to "plan" out when according to what i'm doing that day-that would be bad if i am in the car in between towns when it "kicks in"...it has happened before....VERY SCARY...

Yep, I can do other lettuce though (I hope that remains!) but rarely can get a salad when I'm out to eat because I end up with upset tummy.
