Abstract
The effectiveness of activated charcoal in treating intestinal gas [in patients], following a gas-producing meal, was compared with a placebo. The number of flatus events and breath H2 levels were measured. Orally administered activated charcoal was evidently effective in preventing the large increase in the number of flatus events and increased breath H2 concentrations that normally occur following a gas-producing meal.
