Cailin, that's interesting--my family is full of raging diabetics who cannot eat carrots and beets. I guess, in an IBS-health-nut-case kind of way, carrots are my "cookies."
Also, they are doing wonders for my skin and bowel tone. They are great "poop" toners and heal my raw-D bum really fast. So...delicious treats and low cal/safe dip sticks with IF snacks/meals and internal healers. When I eat carrots, my guts feel pretty darn good. Also, I note, if I've gone to excess with the spices, they tend to naturally freshen my breath and quelch any internal fire!
I haven't smoked in 15 weeks and I read, recently, that carrots and beets are really good lung cleansers and liver cleansers.
I know you're having a problem with sugar, Cailin, from your posts on the fitness board. Perhaps including/substituting/incorporating more safe naturally sweet treats in your diet? Trust me, they make you glow and energize without depressing.
Kate, IBS-D.
