Re: How do you clean your lettuce?
JoyGal -- have you by chance had a course of antibiotics recently? I lost the ability to digest lettuce for a time (specifically romaine). Quite some time later, I had some yeast problems and went on a heavy duty good bacteria repopulating quest. Amazingly, I can digest romaine and all other lettuces again! (Chewing the lettuce very well helps too.) I also find using lemon with my salads helps.
Could that be it?
And if I've not completely violated all the rules of keeping separate the consuming and um, excreting of food . . .
I clean my lettuce under running water and then put it through a salad spinner. I buy only organic lettuce.
