Since I turned 50, I've had occassional trouble digesting some "foods" like white four, dairy, refined sugar, fast food, and even some expensive resturaunt foods as well. I Take a 250mg charcoal pill one time for extreme gas, bloating and acid indigestion when needed and within 1/2 hour, all symptoms disapear. I also have changed my diet to eliminate most of the offending "foods" and this has help...

I will never take another Activated Charcoal capsule again. The pain/negatives incredibly outweighed any positives.

I took 2 activated charcoal capsules when I was experiencing nausea and my stomach was churning, likely due to a high fat meal that my gi system is not accustomed to. Within 45 minutes my symptoms had resolved completely and within two hours I was feeling hungry .

I have very bad acid re-flux that was compounded by pregnancy. I would take take a couple of these with dinner and they would take care of the extra acid in my stomach. This worked because my child would kick me in the stomach at night causing me to vomit acid. The charcoal took care of the acid during my meal and help prevent an acid build up in the mornings as well.

I take two charcoal pills after a night of drinking(don't forget to drink these with a lot of water, probably 4 ounces per pill.) and I wake up feeling great. It completely kills my hang over every time. I don't know how often this should be taken (I don't drink often) but it definitely works for curing a hangover. Take it before you fall asleep. Take it before you start drinking if you like. It works either way. Just take it before you fall asleep.

Great for treatment of upset stomach, diarrhea, and gas. Also helps absorb alcohol when you've drank too much.

I periodically experience severe abdominal/intestinal gas connected with burping a horrid sulfur smelling/tasting gas, stomach bloating and often nausea. This treatment greatly reduces my suffering and seems to help clear this up more quickly than doing nothing. I have used this treatment for years and always keep some activated charcoal on hand.

Effectively relieves gas and gas pains...when I wait too long to eat, or eat fried foods.
