If you get the runs alias " Bali Belly" or whatever you want to call it. Charcoal will only help if it some sort of toxing you have picked up. If it is , and most likley it is, bacterial in nature. In this case you will need an antibiotic to reid your body of this problem. If you wait thinking it will get better you may notice that your leg muscles hurt. This is a sign you are losing electrolytes too rapidly because of the diareha. When I travel in Asia I keep 1)Charcoal tablest, 2) Cpro tablets 3) powdewred electrolytes. Immodium just slows things down on your insides and this is something you want to pass not hold in. My 2 Cents
