Ice Berg lettuce has absolutely no nutritional content and that is why it is not recommended for animals.

This is such a big help to me because my new guinea pigs (Gizmo and Boomer) are a little spoiled but this will help them be more healthy, thank you very much for the help. Sincerely, Janieeeeeeeeee

I had guinea pigs when I was younger. We had a book that said it was ok to feed them tomatoes, but then one died after only 4 days. He was the male and "hogged" the food from the females which is why they affected him more. We later found out tomatoes were not safe for guinea pigs. I think you should take them off your 'in moderation' list as they shouldn't be fed them at all.
