Will medicine delta carbon (medicinal charcoal) causes stool to turn blackish ? but mixes with a bit brown? is it normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes but y take it: It adsorbs to its surface and thus prevents you from you from getting it into your body. Why are you taking the activated charcoal in the first place?
