Well, I don't know about all you people afraid to give this a try, but I swear by Charcocaps. I keep a box at work and one at home. I get really painful intestinal gas. It's trapped gas which causes bloating and can be so bad I can't function. Waiting for 2-3+ hours for it to try and make its way out of my system is not only excrutiatingly painful, but also something I can't leave work for whenever my guts decide to act up. I've tried a number of the gas pills in the pharmacy (GasX, Phasym) they didn't do anything to help. The Charcocaps start working instantly.
I've tried them many times over the years and have never had any success. You describe my daily symptoms exactly and I wonder what type of charcoal you take, the dose and how often. Also, I did notice when I took them they tended to constipate me, as they stopped all activity in the gut. Can you share what type you take and if you've experienced this side effect?
