Why does lettuce make you poop?

Answer 1

There are a few reasons why lettuce can make a person poop. Lettuce has fiber in it which helps with digestion. It also contains a lot of water. Both factors increase the chances of a bowel movement.

Answer 2

There are quite a few reasons why salad could be giving you diarrhea:

• You might be allergic to something in the salad.
• You might be sensitive to a chemical like lactose or gluten that is in the salad. There is gluten in croutons and sometimes lactose in creamy salad dressings.
• You might have a shortage of digestive enzymes, particularly the ones needed to digest carbohydrates. Try taking "Beano".
• You might have irritable bowel syndrome or another digestive problem.
• Salad has a lot of fibre. If you aren't used to it, it will give you diarrhea.
• There may be e-coli bacteria on the salad. Be sure to wash it, even if it is pre-washed.

Try eating just one type of vegetable at a time. Eliminate any vegetables from your diet that upset your digestion. If they all give you a problem, you should visit your doctor.
