Any body else avoiding eating lettuce ?

billcherie2 :
Yikes! Yes, me! I'm not eating salads or lettuce right now. I definitely don't want the sh!ts!!! I'm sorry you've been sick with G.I. issues recently.

This is the response from the other thread about salads and illness from last Thursday (I think)…I ate a salad with grilled chicken yesterday from Whataburger when they brought in lunch for a meeting. It was fine and I'm not sick.Hope you feel better soon!

I'm not eating it, just to not take chances, because I've been sick.

I ate salad from chic fil a on friday, im fine. It says its shredded iceberg. I rarely buy iceberg

Yes, overabundance of caution, I'm saying, "No lettuce, please." Until this passes. Some people are getting really, really sick.

billcherie2 : Had my hair cut today and my hair person had it. Doesnt sound fun. Hurts like hell and lasts for a couple of weeks. She said, if it aint cooked, dont eat it.

But what really annoys me is, I love Taco Bell and popping for a burrito and ice tea. Nope, nada, no way no how now.

Not me....If I happen to get "diarrhea" from some bacteria on produce I don't really mind....I consider it nature's "colon cleanse".....As long as it's all over in a day or two, I'm good....And probably feeling much better than before....The "Colon" is a magnificent organ that can seriously impact the way a person feels....

billcherie2 :
Not avoiding it, but I eat my salads and lettuce buns at home every day. No fast food.

billcherie2:I had a homemade Cobb salad yesterday. No problems afterwards.

I'm using prepackaged greens from simple truth and Heb's organic. Depending on the restaurant, I'll eat or skip. Had a big salad from Salata last week, no problems.

billcherie2 :
We are still avoiding fruits and veggies that are not pealed or cooked. The symptoms do not necessarily manifest for several weeks and can last for weeks. No thank you. I don't trust the ever changing reports.

billcherie2 :
I finally caved and bought some baby lettuce which was grown in the USA. I threw the outer leaves out and washed it thoroughly. We ate it on our tacos tonight. Fingers crossed!

billcherie2 :
Y.E.S!

I lived dangerously and ate a salad at Carrabbas today. I saw on the news that Chipotle in Minnesota is having a salmonella issue related to jalepeno peppers. They immediately changed suppliers.
