The purple carrots have even more antioxidants. Carrots were originally purple along with many veggies.
Fruits and veggies are actually an IBSers friend! There are so many that are pretty easy to break down plus they are low in fat to bring a meal to a better fat percentage. When I have counted my servings per day during work wellness challenges I have usually had 10 per day (except on sick days of mostly oatmeal).
Some of the easier ones are:
bananas (for most)
papayas
mangos
avocados
peaches
pineapple
pureed fruit like applesauce or any other, canned fruit
kiwis and berries with caution
(grapes and melons, along with peel on apples and pears are IMO the toughest fruits)
carrots
sweet potatoes
squash
potatoes
mushrooms
cooked peas
cooked green beans
spinach
asparagus
beets
parsnips, rutabagas, turnips
baby lettuce is better than iceberg and napa cabbage is better than regular
cooked greens like collards, chard, mustard
leeks and scallions are better than onions
Personally I eat broccoli all the time but I can't recommend it. I also eat lots of onions, garlic and hot peppers and those things aren't my problems. Julienned ginger added to things is an IF but is great for tummy trouble. Also fennel bulb is supposed to be good on tummies despite the IF.

IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
