Sclerotinia - lettuce

Posts: 1
I've been growing veg organically for over 25yrs in my garden without any major problems. This year my lettuce wilted completely and did not respond to watering. When I removed them, there was a white power/fungus on the roots and in the surrounding soil. The leaves were unblemished.
I did an internet search and believe that the problem maybe sclerotinia, and that I can not grow lettuce in the same soil again for approx 3yrs.
What I cannot find out is:
a. is there a treatment for sclerotinia - organic or not.
b. is there anything else I can grow in the effected soil and if so, what?
I dug the area over and had to transplant my leeks into it as I'm short of room. So far they seem okay.
Help!
