Hi,
I've recently heard about charcoal and decreased gas/flatulence. Does anyone know about this and take it for these reasons? Does it do anything for the odour as well? Would love to know if people take it and find it decreases the flatulence when on the toilet. I hate this and can't poop when people are around 
Thanks,
Nick

I understand how you feel Nick. I hate living with a pouch just as much if not more as you do. Long ago I tried charcoal too and noticed no real difference after using it. I've had my miserable pouch for 29 years and have come to the conclusion there's no beating the laws of physics. Not much I can do besides watch what I eat or preferably eat less.
OK thank you for your reply.
My dad used to burn toast black (on purpose) and give it to me to deal with diarrhea and gastro and it worked...The same idea as giving charcoal tablets.
It does work...it also helps to remove liver toxicity...and lower gas.
