Can charcoal and/or glutathione cause abdominal pain and cramping?

Charcoal might cause constipation for some. It doesn’t me. I don’t get abdominal pain and cramping from liposomal glutathione, but I have had burning and pain with urination shortly afterward due to toxins coming out in urine.

Lots of things can cause abdominal pain and cramping - toxic mold, yeast overgrowth, parasites, SIBO, Lyme/co.

WBF is right to watch out for constipation with most binders, and about how many things cause GI issues....

Lower GI disturbance is fairly common with glutathione, so I'd guess that's your culprit. I can tolerate glutathione only about once every three days for this reason. Your body (liver) is detoxing and it feels crummy on the way out. The symptoms might dissipate after a few days or weeks, or you might just need to use a low dose or low frequency.

I hope your discomfort resolves quickly!
