A member asked:

Can activated charcoal tablets reduce chronic, severe abdominal bloating (6yrs+) of unknown cause? docs dont know why but so bloated i look pregnant.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: One can work with a Gastroenterologist, or try a different Gastroenterologist, if doctors are having trouble finding the cause of the bloating. Meanwhile, one can keep a diary of everything she eats or drinks, and all her activities. A person bloats up if she is not moving stuff through her gut, if bacteria in her gut is making a lot of gas, or if she has a problem of retaining fluid in the belly.
