Charcoal as Natural Cure for Irritable Bowel Syndrome

As a 35 year old female with irritable bowel syndrome, I didn't know what to do with myself.  The symptoms were awful and I wasn't sure how to handle them.  I took several medications and tried lots of treatments, but everything led to bloating and lots of gas.  Finally, a friend told me to try charcoal pills.  Thinking it was a weird Asian medicine, I was afraid to try it, but I'm so happy that I did.  I took about two capsules about two hours before a meal.  After that, I would be sure to drink about eight glasses of water every day.  Within a week, I felt my symptoms improve drastically.  Not only was I less irritable, but I was less bloated and I began to have regular bowel movements again.  Try charcoal capsules for a great and effective natural cure for your irritable bowel syndrome.  You won't be sorry!
