I would like to take charcoal pills because I have been bloated since 9 o'clock last night, but I am 7 weeks pregnant. Can I still take the charcoal pills to help me?

Hello, ma'am,
Activated charcoal is not absorbed, so it is unlikely to have an effect on the fetus. However, we do not have any concrete data on its chronic use. If your use exceeds a few days, it would be prudent to talk to your doctor.
Also, it would be pertinent to address the possible cause of bloating: is it related to constipation, certain foods?
