Unless you’ve got a seriously sensitive esophagus, there’s really no reason you couldn't just swallow the tablets whole. btw, one or two won't cut it if things are getting serious—like those cases I mentioned earlier. If you happen to have some Reglan lying around (an antiemetic, helps kill that urge to puke), grab it. And Linex helps rebuild your gut flora, so it makes sense to take it once the acute purging settles down.
Thanks a ton... gonna go chug that crap soon. Hopefully it doesn't keep me up half the night.😛
Tyler James5 said:You don't actually have to dissolve charcoal tablets in water—though if you're using the powder, you definitely have to, otherwise you'll be choking on it... it's just more effective if you do. Personally, I think the best way to take them is with some warm, unsweetened tea. An Indian or maybe a Russian black tea works wonders because it slightly seals everything up
So I can just pop the pill and wash it down with a few sips of tea? Because honestly, any amount of liquid makes me feel nauseous—let alone an entire glass...😢
Patrick Young2 said:I’m not sure if just one pill is going to cut it. When I was dealing with something similar, I was taking 7 tablets dissolved in water three times a day until things finally leveled out.
The issue is I puked up exactly what I just swallowed—probably because the water was too cold or something...
Just popped a Linex forte tablet since my stomach is still killing me.
Woke up this morning with some weird stomach pains—honestly thought it was just those cheese curls I crushed last night....
Hit the bathroom, and yeah, things were solid but definitely not normal, plus I still felt pretty crappy
About five minutes later, the first wave of diarrhea hit. Stomach is still killing me.
Grabbed some Medtronic and dissolved one tablet in a little bit of cold water (looked disgusting, but I downed it anyway)
Since then, I've had this constant burping sensation. Ended up back on the toilet twice more with more watery stools
Roughly thirty minutes after the Medtronic, I threw up some black liquid. Felt instant relief, but my stomach is still aching, though I haven't had to run to the bathroom for 2 or 3 hours now.
I’m definitely thinking about taking another one, but can I just swallow the pill with water? Or does it absolutely have to be dissolved? That dissolved stuff is hard to get down......
thanks🙂
