Depends on...: Whether or not taking charcoal causes a problem depends on how much charcoal and how often. Charcoal is not absorbed into the body, but gets pooped out. It absorbs some things on its way through the intestines. So, a little bit of charcoal, once in a full moon, probably does nothing to the body.

Activated charcoal: Some of the side effects of using activated charcoal powder include black stools, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea or constipation. Always use activated charcoal powder as directed by a physician, or according to label directions. Note: intestinal blockage and bowel problems may occur if a glass of water is not taken before ingesting.
