A physician’s comment..
Charcoal in small or moderate amounts is safe and can be tried in cases of bloating and flatus. However, its only known action is to actively bind up certain chemicals and gases. The likely effect will be to reduce the offensive odor of rectal gas. Do not expect it to reduce the amount of rectal gas.
