From Shelley
Colleen, I apologized to Teresa, mentor/volunteer also.
I have had such great success with charcoal for gas, for years. I felt it was safe enough to use with my children. I would never ever use anything for them that I didn't absolutely trust. I thought I was clarifying my suggestions as working for me, but I obviously didn't do a very thorough job. I apologize that my post was done in the wrong way. I would never suggest to anyone to use any product I had not had great success with. I suffer from CIC💩, so I don't, can't take any chances on anything that might cause it to be worse. I will be much more cautious in my posts. Shelley

Hi @shelleyw, thanks for posting. Yes, you did the right thing in advising that the things you do work for you. I appreciate that. Your post was not done improperly.
Charcoal was popular on social media and touted by supplement companies a few years ago. Hence we jumped in to post evidence-based information about its use.
Activated charcoal is effective for clearing out toxins in emergency poisoning situations for specific toxins. There have been a few studies that have researched charcoal for indigestion: to reduce gas and bloating, and to treat and prevent diarrhea. But the evidence remains inconclusive.
