Is activated charcoal safe in pregnancy?

During pregnancy, a woman goes through many changes, primarily hormones. They very often affect the digestive tract, which manifests itself in diarrhea and vomiting. A woman's body is extremely sensitive during pregnancy, but every woman's body is different and some may have more severe symptoms than others. Changes in the color, consistency and regularity of the stool can also be caused by other physiological or psychological factors. Treatment of diarrhea during pregnancy should primarily include natural products, so that the health of the future mother and the developing fetus are not at risk. Therefore, black coal is most often used for diarrhea in pregnancy.

Attention, there are two types of animal, black or activated carbon - one supports the digestive system and is aimed at better digestion, the other for problems with diarrhea. Activated charcoal absorbs gases and toxic substances from the digestive system and helps with acute diarrhea caused by a dietary mistake, irritable bowel and the occurrence of less serious intestinal infections caused by viruses and bacteria. In the case of diarrhea, the tablets are intended for short-term use, after overcoming the diarrhea, it is advisable to take probiotics in order to recover the microflora of the digestive tract.

As the mothers revealed in the discussions, they used black coal during diarrhea and it was helpful. Since there are different types of charcoal, you should always read the package leaflet to see if the product is suitable for pregnant women. In principle, however, black coal does not act in the bloodstream, so it should not be harmful. If black coal did not work, you should try Smecta and follow a diet consisting of black tea, rice or bananas, fiber, specifically Psyllium powder, is also helpful.
