do you tolerate carrots (specifically raw)?

they’re low fodmap but curious if anyone reacts to them anyway. cooked carrots make me nauseous for some unknown reason, but I can’t tell how I tolerate raw carrots, sometimes I have symptoms and sometimes I don’t. so I’m curious if you generally tolerate or avoid carrots, and if there’s a difference between raw and cooked carrots in terms of sibo (i have methane sibo/ imo if that makes a difference)

do you tolerate carrots (specifically raw)?

i see conflicting info about whether or not to include carrots. cooked carrots make me nauseous for some unknown reason, but I can’t tell how I tolerate raw carrots, sometimes I have symptoms and sometimes I don’t. so I’m curious if you generally tolerate or avoid carrots, and if there’s a difference between raw and cooked carrots in terms of candida

I’m working as a consultant right now on a 4 day/ 32 hour work week schedule due to several different chronic illnesses that don’t allow me to work a full time 40 hours schedule (even 32 is rough on me a lot of the time) but the billable hours emphasis in consulting is starting to also take a toll on my health, so I’m considering a return to public service

However, I’d need to continue working at my reduced schedule, which is why I’m wondering if you/ any coworkers you know of have successfully obtained an accommodation similar to this (for reduced salary of course)

Is this something I should bring up during the interview process to make sure it’d be a possibility within the scope of that role/team? I’m not in any rush to leave my current job, so if this hurts my chances, I’m able to wait for the right opportunity. And roles that are already listed as part time are very few and tend to be temp positions

my PT is eds aware but is primarily a schroth pt for my scoliosis. her general philosophy is to teach proper form/ technique and not limit the activities you can or can’t do and generally live your life without restriction, which makes sense to an extent but i’m not sure I fully agree with that if you’re causing permanent damage for the long term. regardless, I’m in between insurances so I can’t get her opinion at the moment but I do remember her once making an offhand comment about how she generally doesn’t advise her eds patients to run unless they are very passionate about it

I can’t do long distance running because of mcas but tolerate shorter distances up to a mile (mcas wise at least). Would running shorter distances (at a fast pace) be better or worse on an EDS body compared to distance running? Or are both discouraged? Would love to hear anyone’s PT’s opinion on this too

I’m not super passionate about running so it’s not the end of the world if I’m better off avoiding it altogether. I just miss the runners high after fast running a mile lol but my body is more important given I have 3 different connective tissue disorders 🫠
