What are the dangers of activated charcoal?
Activated charcoal has even proven effective at reducing intestinal gas, bloating, and abdominal cramps. In one particular study, activated charcoal won against a placebo and effectively reduced symptoms of abdominal cramping and flatulence.
So, the sooner activated charcoal is taken after swallowing the drug or poison, the better it works—generally within 30 to 60 minutes.
Charcoal is used to treat stomach pain caused by excess gas, diarrhea, or indigestion. Charcoal also is used to relieve itching related to kidney dialysis treatment and to treat poisoning or drug overdose.
Activated charcoal is created by heating common charcoal to make it more porous. The extra spaces in the charcoal trap gas molecules, reducing the gas that causes bloating. Some studies have shown that charcoal, when combined with simethicone , is even more effective at reducing gas and bloating.
Internally, you can take a couple capsules (500-1000mg) of activated charcoal on an empty stomach to help detox the body and reduce toxic load (which can manifest as poor skin health).
Potential Dangers. Activated charcoal may cause side effects like constipation, diarrhea or vomiting, especially with repeated doses. It may even cause serious gastrointestinal issues such as bowel obstruction, which requires immediate medical attention.
