Charcoal is my survival remedy when I travel but I also use it whenever I have gas. 1/2 teaspoon of charcoal powder and gas is gone 20 minutes later. Gas is caused by fermenting foods and charcoal absorbs it all.

I started to take charcoal after reading about it on here. It is wonderful for bloating and gas. Helps every time. I take 2 capsules. If I do not get enough relief I take 2 more 2 hours after first dose. Do not take with other meds or supplements. Thank you earth clinic!!

After checking this site, I purchased activated charcoal for the relief of gas. I've been suffering for months with gas pains in my stomach & colon & activated charcoal is the only thing that has provided me with any relief. I feel considerably better!!! I take 2 capsules whenever i start to feel 'yuck'. Thank you sooo much for Earth Clinic!!

For GAS the best thing is to buy CHARCOAL PILLS ..they have coated (pink) and uncoted (black) its not medicine..its staright powder charcoal. take 2 at once. It absorbs toxins in your body ..like gas... they give it to poeple(in higher dose) when they overdose on drugs.
its perfectly safe...but checking with doctor is always good idea...every person is different.
{!!!} ONLY WARNING: if you are taking medicine for something...wait an hour before taking the charcoal...it will absorb ALL Toxins, that includes medicine you have taken.
I WISH YOU THE BEST!!!

After menopause, I seemed to be bloated in my midsection most of the time. My lower stomach was puffy most of the time. I'm a thin person, and thought this was weight gain due to menopause & quitting smoking. One day I took 2 activated charcoal capsules for gas, and I ended up spending a lot of time in the bathroom that day. By that evening, I realized that my stomach was flat again! I figured that the charcoal had detoxified my system!! I will continue to take the charcoal once or twice weekly now. I am extremely happy with the results!!
