A member asked:
I am experiencing bloating or abdominal fullness that reach the point it hurts my tummy. took activated charcoal pill to help relieve gas, safe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Safe & ineffective: Activated charcoal is safe but is unlikely to address your symptoms. It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor and discuss if you may be depressed. Counter-intuitive as it may seem, exercise may help. Start with low intensity exercise such as walking and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated.
