My son is usually constipated (he would be horrified me telling this lol), but I would like to try AC.

What would be the best way to time it? I was told to take probiotic last thing before bed. How many hours before probiotics would you suggest taking AC? and how many hours after antibiotics would you wait to take the AC?

Can I give him AC with Prune juice? lol

Your binder like AC should be taken at least 2 hours after and 2 hours before anything else. If you add prune juice it's just going to be absorbed and I don't think he'd benefit from it then.

Activated charcoal can be constipating...(maybe you know this)

So make sure he drinks a lot of water with it.

I am not constipated usually, but when I take AC, I have to be careful or it does constipated me.
