Carrots are probably ok. Generally you need to avoid alcohol, spicy foods, caffeine, citrus fruits, tomatoes, garlic, onions, peppermint, and greasy foods. So what you need to concentrate on is a very healthy diet and bland foods for a while. Then gradually try other foods and see if you tolerate them well. You might want to start with foods such as bananas, oatmeal, other cereals, chicken, rice, soups, and fish. Check here for more help.
