Regarding my experience with carrots, I noticed early on that they either caused slower digestion, or diarrhea (the latter sometimes relieved estrogen dominance, only if my stomach calmed down afterward). So I stopped with the carrot salad for awhile and just ate raw carrots when I had them at home - I like carrots. A few weeks ago, my stomach was bothering me a lot (despite taking thyroid) and so I turned to the trusty organic carrot salad to help me clear the bacteria, believing it would help. I make the salad with grated carrot, CO, salt and honey. Unfortunately, my stomach condition worsened, I got a bit depressed and stressed, and then finally I came to my senses and stopped eating the carrot, took some activated charcoal, and voila - back to better! Yay. That being said, I need some sort of fiber in my diet to keep me regular and clear things out, so I recently switched from carrot to spaghetti squash (with tomato sauce and parmesan cheese) while taking the bit of charcoal and also some very well cooked beets (not both in the same day). I find that spaghetti squash and cooked beets (especially beets) provide much better and more consistent bowel movements than the carrots for me. I have since stopped the charcoal but continued with the spaghetti squash and beets and am very satisfied with their gut cleaning. I think I just prefer all my veggies well cooked
