Guest guest Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Hi again- Sorry – just remembered – After this recent hospitalization, for intestinal disease, the doc wants me to not eat any raw fibrous vegetables like lettuce, no matter if it is baby lettuce or not. Gums up the works. We were brainstorming salad type greens that might work for me (trying to lose weight – I can gain weight LOOKING at a picture of ice cream) and he said that spinach was a soft leafy vegetable that chewed well would be okay, but can anyone think of another leafy soft vegetable that might work (raw for salad)?

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 At least here in the states, spinach is a very soft leaf that has less, um, membranes (no, that’s not the right word), um, things in the leaf that look like veins in a human but carry water to the leaf, oh damn, what are those things called? Spinach only has one of them. Cynthia On Behalf Of jo Saturday, March 11, 2006 7:37 AM Re: Softness I'm confused as to why spinach leaf is okay but lettuce not!!!
