I was not aware when I started the diet that carrots needed to be cooked. I actually got stable while munching on raw baby carrots all the time. I still eat them now very often. But I am pretty good with raw veggies all around. Also I think because I eat them as a snacky kind of thing I do better, that is I eat them slowly. Sometimes I cook them and have with rice and get bloated afterward, I think this is because I eat too many too fast. So to be safe they should be cooked but some people can handle raw.
-------------------- 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!
