Activated Charcoal


Not many of us are aware of the benefits of charcoal in the diet. Did you know it helps with indigestion, flatulence and by my experience food poisoning? My son loves crabs; however he has a terrible allergic reaction when he eats it. So in order for him to enjoy his seafood special I often travel with my activated charcoal so he can have it right after he has his crabs. I try to take it everywhere I go, especially to new places to eat where I am not familiar with the cooking. If they are feeling uncomfortable with gas pains or diarrhea I usually give them a dose. I am no doctor by profession but in my home I am Dr. Mom.


Charcoal can be easily purchased at the pharmacy or any health store outlet.
