sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
Wash butter lettuce leaves individually and spin them dry thoroughly to preserve their fragile structure. Store whole heads in the refrigerator with a damp paper towel inside a loosely closed container. You can safely wrap lean proteins and low-FODMAP grains in these leaves for a refreshing meal alternative. Avoid pairing with heavy, oil-based dressings that might mask symptoms or cause digestive fatigue.
