A member asked:
Can daily activated charcoal pills help relieve chronic gas pain from ibs (no specific food causes the gas). if so how many mg & at what time of day?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Activated charcoal: Activated charcoal is used to trap toxins in the intestinal tract but can be used to treat abdominal gas buildup and bloating. Read the instructions on the jar of powder but usually 500 mgs are prescribed about 1/2 hour before the meal with a glass of water and then drink another glass of water after the meal. Your pharmacist can also advise you about this medication.
