Hiya Nettie
I usually do ee with some red thrown in. I was wondering if I would be better just doing red what do you think? Boo xx
Yes salad CAN make you constipated. We've had this topic in class.If you think of what it consists of, it's mainly water, and there isn't enough bulk in it compared with more solid vegetables. I had the same problem, and now I have it in addition to my meals not as a meal per se, ie tuna salad.Or I will have wholemeal bread to provide some fibre.
I agree with this.
Veg is like 90% - 95% water so you end up weeing it out rather than the other way, therefore there's not alot left in your intestines anywho!
I really struggle with getting bulk in my diet too and therefore get bad constipation. I eat tonnes and tonnes of salad and veg.
