Activated Charcoal everyday

[Guest guest]

I posted this question some time ago & am not sure if I got any

responses as I couldn't find anything during a search...

My autistic son gets activated charcoal everyday, in the eves, within

1-1/2 hrs after his last round of supps. Is this safe or could it be

depleting him anyway?

We rarely miss a day, but if it's not safe everyday we could just

give it 2-3x/ week. He is GFCF & there are often crumbs etc around

here from siblings so it helps with that.

Thanks,

I'm unsure about the validity of this but a friend told me her nutritionist

told her you must watch that you are not depleting essential minerals by using

activated Charcoal everyday...we did use it everyday while my son was on

saccromysis B. but we stopped because he got a rash from the SB.

Activated Charcoal is safe to use frequently, but it does deplete the

good bugs along with the bad bugs so I'm not sure you should use it so

frequently. If it is necessary, then perhaps you need to make sure he

has a good probiotic or eats home made goats yogurt (see SCD diet info

on pecanbread site for info on how to make). Apparently many casein

sensitive children can tolerate goats yogurt.
