12 oz. of Carrots (one bag of Baby Carrots or equivalent amount)
1 Mango

Wash the red pepper and carrots. If you aren't using baby carrots, you will need to peel the carrots. Cut the center out of the red pepper, and peel the mango and remove the fruit from around the pith.
Juice all ingredients in the juicer. Makes approximately 10-12 oz. of a sweet, opaque orange-colored juice.
Nutritional Information
Fresh carrot juice contains enzymes that aid your digestion and the juice helps to stimulate digestion overall.
Carrots are often helpful for those with IBS-C because they help “lubricate”
your intestines, but not to the degree that the juice causes diarrhea, at least
not in my experience. IBS-D sufferers
can therefore also take advantages of the many beneficial nutrients in carrot
juice.
Carrots are packed with vitamins A, B, C, D, E and K, as
well as calcium, phosphorous, potassium, sodium and many other trace minerals that your body needs, but may not be getting if you're on a limited diet to cope with your IBS. Carrots are also high in antioxidants and
carotenoids, which help ease inflammation (a condition that may or may not be the root cause of IBS) and strengthen the immune system. Carotenoids can also help prevent heart disease, stroke, certain cancers, and some vision problems, including cataracts and age-related macular degeneration.
Carrots contain Biotin (Vitamin B7), which is necessary for cell growth, the production of fatty acids, and the metabolism of fats and amino acids. The Vitamin C in carrots helps reduce infections, and is useful for regulating cortisol secretion in the body. Cortisol is necessary for the fight or flight response to stressful situations, but too much of it can be unhealthy. Vitamin C also supplies your body with energy, increases your body’s absorption of iron, and helps to ease certain types of cramping by helping your body assimilate calcium instead of accumulating in your joints. The Vitamin D in carrots can help prevent numerous chronic diseases, including hypertension (high blood pressure), and can also help facilitate weight loss. The Vitamin E in carrots and carrot juice is essential for the proper functioning of nerves and muscles; Vitamin E is also an antioxidant that can help prevent a chemical reaction called oxidation, which results in free radicals that contribute to aging, cancer and many other diseases. Vegetables such as carrots that are high in Vitamins C and E can help to regulate fat metabolism.
Finally, carrots and carrot juice are also packed with beta-carotene, which boots the effectiveness of Vitamin C and helps to cleanse the intestine; Zinc, which boosts the immune system, helps decrease inflammation and stimulate protein synthesis in bone; and Iron, which is necessary for preventing anemia.
