What Causes Abdominal Bloating And Throat Discomfort After Drinking Carrot Juice?
I consumed an ounce or so of raw beet juice with carrot juice around 8am this morning and am experiencing bloating and throat and esophogous discomfort - drinking water but not helping much Have tried Pepcid ac and gasx to try to get rid of discomfort. Won t consume this again! Any idea how long these symptoms last or if I should call my doctor? Any suggestions?

Hello,
High-fiber vegetables, like carrots, cause gas because bacteria within the colon produce it as a by-product of its digestion of fiber.
I suggest using simethicone medication to relieve the bloating.
I also suggest taking daily probiotics.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
