Re: watery diarrhea

[Guest guest]

I've been on SCD for 9 1/2 weeks and was doing well. Sunday I went downhill w/diarrhea about 6 times a day and this morning I've already gone 4 times and it's just like water.

I read online about charcoal and it said it is good for stopping diarrhea Charcoal Take activated charcoal or white clay to absorb toxins in the system. Actually, activated charcoal is a powerful adsorbent, which is a substance that attracts things to its surface, as opposed to absorbing them into itself. Charcoal will stop the diarrhea quickly by adsorbing the toxins that are causing the problem. NB: Activated charcoal is not for everyday use as it adsorbs important vitamins and minerals you need to be healthy.

Has anyone used charcoal to help w/diarrhea? I don't know if I'm in a flare or die-off but I really don't want to get back up to going 10-20 times a day again.

Thanks for any advice

And if it is die off it will be particularly helpful in gettingrid of the toxins. I used it a lot initially on SCD. Also epsom baths. Mara
