I am wondering if anyone else feels nauseated after eating raw carrots or knows why it would be happening? Ive always loved raw carrots but the upset tummy I get after eating them is becoming more frequent.

    It could be a mild food poisoning. However, if its happening from different batches of carrots this isn't too likely. You could also try organic carrots see if that makes a difference. If you normally eat baby carrots try regular organic carrots. The baby cut carrots are treated with bleach so you could be sensitive to that. If non of that helps you could just be developing a sensitivity to carrots I have sensitivities to bellpeppers, pineapple, milk, and avacado. The worst for me is avacado I get the worst stomach pains after eating it and it lasts for hours. For me I seem to gradually develop sensitivities to food, I never noticed any food sensitivity until I was 15-16. If that is what it is just avoid carrots. Thats what I do with foods that disagree with me.

    I have this alot.
    Raw veggies make me feel yucky. When I eat them I feel like I'm still hungry but my stomach is full but I want to eat but feel sick. Its the weirdest feeling ever.
    I used to juice all my veggies and that helped majorly. I got them all in without the torture of eating them lol.

    I've read that raw carrots are very hard for the body to process. Could be the problem. Do you have the same problem with cooked carrots? If not, there's your answer.

    I have had to go to a gastro doctor due to stomach issues (actually intestinal - not what I thought was the stomach) - anyway, he said that avoiding raw veggies will help, and recommended I take Phasyme. For me, at least, he thinks it might be IBS....

    Yes! Most raw veggies make me feel nauseas too. Carrots are the worst! Fruits are fine. Now I just cook my veggies- not the healthiest choice, but one can't be feeling ill all the time either.

    Not nausea but if I eat them (and raw apples btw) by themselves, they will give me indigestion. If I pair them with a sandwich and/or some protein, I don't have any trouble.

    Don't eat them alone for awhile ...... if they still make you sick, then just don't eat :drinker:
