Thank you. I do use ginger. Phenergan makes me sleep. No vomiting at all. How do you use charcoal? Thanks for all your suggestions

I use the charcoal capsules 4-6, 1-3x day when the nausea is bad. I use less if the nausea is less. Remember, drink, drink, and drink water. You want it to stay intact for it to get to your stomach and lower. You mentioned that there is no vomiting; is this because the nausea doesn't hit you like that, or you force yourself not to vomit, or your nausea is just light enough not to cause vomiting? Shelley
Activated charcoal is used in the emergency treatment of certain kinds of poisoning. It helps prevent the poison from being absorbed from the stomach into the body.
Activated charcoal has not been shown to be effective in relieving diarrhea and intestinal gas.
The side effects of taking charcoal are nausea, vomiting, constipation and diarrhea. It is not known how charcoal might affect the balance of gut bacteria in the body, especially long-term.
