Comment:
I took 2 activated charcoal capsules when I was experiencing nausea and my stomach was churning, likely due to a high fat meal that my gi system is not accustomed to. Within 45 minutes my symptoms had resolved completely and within two hours I was feeling hungry .

Comment:
I periodically experience severe abdominal/intestinal gas connected with burping a horrid sulfur smelling/tasting gas, stomach bloating and often nausea. This treatment greatly reduces my suffering and seems to help clear this up more quickly than doing nothing. I have used this treatment for years and always keep some activated charcoal on hand.

Effectively relieves gas and gas pains...when I wait too long to eat, or eat fried foods.
