I was given activated charcoal for an overdose and I've been experiencing stomach discomfort and passing charcoal in my stool for 5 days. Is this normal? Asked by G - Thu Nov 13 08:56:05 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. There is no need to worry. Charcoal is actually the only substance that really has no lethal dose. This means that there is no toxicity or danger in consuming charcoal in any quantity. It has great absorptive properties, which is why it is given in cases of overdose. It absorbs the drug, and passes through your gastrointestinal tract removing the drug from your body with it. You were probably given a healthy amount of charcoal to make sure the drug was cleared. I expect it to end within the week, but passing charcoal is definitely not a problem. Answered by Kai S - Thu Nov 13 09:26:30 2008 How do I remove charcoal stains fom my carpet? Q.

Q. I have an old water softener from a previous house. My new house needs a whole house charcoal filter. Can I change out the softener media for activated charcoal and use the same filter for whole house removal of taste etc.? If so, what steps are required? Thanks for offering your experience. RO really won't work for me because of my water volume. Am hoping to be able to exchange the media for charcoal in a traditional softener.
