Activated charcoal reduces bloating effectively
We evaluated the effectiveness of activated charcoal in alleviating bloating and reducing gas production through a double-blind clinical trial. Participants from diverse dietary contexts in the United States and India underwent breath hydrogen tests to assess gas levels after consuming either activated charcoal or a placebo. Our findings revealed that activated charcoal notably diminished breath hydrogen levels and significantly lessened associated bloating and abdominal discomfort in both groups. This suggests that charcoal can be a useful remedy for gas-related issues.

We explored the effectiveness of Carbosylane, a combination of activated charcoal and simethicone, for relieving bloating and other dyspeptic symptoms. In a study involving 132 patients, those taking Carbosylane showed significant improvement in symptoms like abdominal fullness and bloating compared to a placebo after three months of treatment. Remarkably, these benefits continued for two months after treatment ended.
The results suggest that this charcoal-based treatment could be a helpful option for those struggling with bloating.

Carbosymag® reduces dyspeptic symptoms
We explored how the combination of simethicone, activated charcoal, and magnesium oxide—known as Carbosymag(®)—helps with bloating in adults experiencing functional dyspepsia. In a well-structured study with 276 patients, we found that those taking Carbosymag(®) reported a significant reduction in overall symptoms, including bloating, after one month compared to those on a placebo.
This suggests that this mixture can effectively ease bloating and other discomforts associated with functional dyspepsia.

Effective for bloating

Charcoal tablets are essential in every home and travel bag. They effectively absorb toxins and help expel them from the body, especially after consuming contaminated food or feeling bloated. I recommend taking 5 to 10 capsules with water when experiencing gas, nausea, or any discomfort. Additionally, avoid using these tablets with regular medications, as they can hinder absorption. Surprisingly, they can also whiten teeth if used correctly.

Activated charcoal's unclear effectiveness
We observed an interesting case involving six Nubian goats that mistakenly ingested an azalea branch from the Rhododendron species. The next day, three of the goats developed symptoms like bloat and regurgitation, alongside signs of depression and muscle tremors.
The goats were quickly referred to the veterinary hospital, where they received treatments that included activated charcoal. However, it's important to note that due to the combination of treatments, including magnesium hydroxide and Ringer's solution, we cannot definitively measure the effectiveness of activated charcoal on its own for reducing bloating.
Within 24 hours of treatment, the goats showed full recovery, leading to a successful management of the grayanotoxin poisoning. This case highlights the potential role of activated charcoal in treatment plans, but it doesn’t clearly establish its effectiveness solely for bloating.

We investigated the effects of cefixime and probiotics on bloating in patients with functional abdominal bloating (FAB). In a clinical trial with 122 affected individuals, those treated with both cefixime and probiotics experienced marked improvements in bloating symptoms compared to those receiving conventional treatment with herbal charcoal.
While conventional methods did provide some relief, the addition of these two treatments led to notably better outcomes in managing bloating and abdominal distension. Other symptoms like abdominal pain and nausea improved similarly across all groups, with no reported side effects.

Use sparingly

Excellent! It works on bloating and malaise in specific situations. However, it shouldn't be used continuously or alongside other supplements, as charcoal reduces the absorption of both harmful and beneficial nutrients.
