Sometimes I take 4g (at once) of activated charcoal when my stomach doesn't feel great and it really helps my digestion for usually 24 hours or so.

I'm thinking maybe I should take it everyday for a while and see what happens. I read it can bind vitamins though so maybe I shouldn't take it everyday?

I do eat carrots but it's not nearly as effective.

Activated charcoal can absorb many toxins, including bacterial endotoxin, so it is likely to reduce serotonin absorption from the intestine. Since it can also bind or destroy vitamins, it should be used only intermittently.

The entire page of RP material is worth the read imo.
