What to know about carrot
Carrots are one of the gentler vegetables to log: clean on histamine, gluten, lactose, nickel and sulfites, naturally anti-inflammatory, and AIP friendly. The only real flags are moderate salicylates (graded C) and moderate oxalates (graded C), plus a medium FODMAP load that only matters in large amounts. For most sensitive eaters carrot is a safe base vegetable, with salicylate sensitivity being the one profile that might notice it.
Watch for
- Moderate salicylates (graded C), enough to matter on a strict salicylate elimination diet but fine for most people
- Moderate oxalates (graded C), worth spacing out if you are prone to oxalate-related issues
- Medium FODMAP by volume, so a very large serving or a big glass of carrot juice can bother a sensitive gut, though a normal portion is low FODMAP
