Hello @charles826 and all others who have participated in this discussion on nausea. I have read several posts encouraging the use of charcoal in the treatment of nausea. However, I would like to caution you on the use of this supplement for nausea.
I'm providing a link from a reputable website, WebMD, regarding benefits as well as side-effects. Always, of course, discuss changes in your supplements with your doctor before adding a new supplement. Supplements can often run interference with other medications.

From Shelley, I did read the link to webmd.com, and I did find a mention about constipation. I have horrible CIC, 17 years and counting. I don't, won't ever try anything that has even an hint towards causing CIC. Again, I apologize for overstepping the boundaries of this site. I thought I had done a better job with describing my use of charcoal, but I obviously failed miserably, since both you and the Connect Director posted about this.

From Shelley...
I apologize for any miscommunication with my post about charcoal. I have used it with great results for years. I did look up to see if it can cause constipation, I couldn't find anything. It is the best, gentle, no side effects, to me, for gas. It worked well for my children too. I will read your link. I will be much less open in sharing about supplements, cuz I do understand that they are not required to be tested strictly. Again, I definitely meant no harm. Shelley
