Marie: Charcoal with acidophilus?

[Guest guest]

It's interesting you should mention charcoal tabs. We must be

psychic friends, as I've been considering them off and on for the

past couple months, but haven't really investigated them fully.

It makes sense though, as they're given in ER rooms in certain

poisoning situations because they bind up the toxins.

But wouldn't they bind up the acidophilus as well if they're taken

at the same time???
