Serving size, prep, and portion notes for carrot juice
Carrot juice keeps the clean chemistry of the carrot: no histamine, no salicylate flag, no oxalate, no nickel, no nightshade. What juicing changes is the load. Stripping the fibre out and pressing several carrots into one glass turns a low FODMAP vegetable into a moderate FODMAP drink, and it rates borderline on low-fermentation and SIBO protocols where the whole root rates clean. Drink enough of it daily and it can also tint your palms orange, which is harmless.
Watch for
Rates borderline for low-fermentation and SIBO diets, unlike the whole carrot which is clean. Fibre-free sugars arrive fast and in quantity, which is the part that feeds bacterial fermentation / Moderate FODMAP as a drink, because a glass is several carrots deep. The same amount of carrot eaten whole would take you far longer and come with its fibre attached / Carotenemia: a large daily habit can turn the palms, soles and sometimes the face a yellow-orange shade. It is cosmetic, reversible within weeks of cutting back, and unlike jaundice it spares the whites of the eyes / Check the bottle. Commercial carrot juice is frequently blended with apple or orange juice, both of which rate far worse for FODMAPs, and mixed vegetable juices often add tomato and salt
