Carrot juice has a laxative effect - that's why it's in all those "detox" regimens. I found this description on a few websites:
"Carrot juice for constipation relief can be a powerful way to deal with bowel movement problems. Carrot juices contain certain oils that work on the mucus membranes of the stomach and colon. This helps with digestion and starts your bowels functioning properly. Carrots are high in fiber and beta-carotene, an antioxidant, which the body converts to vitamin A. Carrots can make your stools softer and larger."

I sometimes make my own juice using a juicer, but I combine the carrots with other vegs/fruit to lessen their impact.
