CharcoCaps = Laugh Out Loud Funny

DISCLAIMER: This post will discuss physical ailments that some viewers may find embarrassing. Read at your own risk.

Last Thursday I picked up some kind of stomach illness. It's been inconvenient and uncomfortable. I've been bloated, gassy, and have been unable to eat foods I like. Initially, I figured it would pass (so to speak) after a day or two. It hasn't.

So last night I was on WebMD looking for relief. I learned a lot about what causes gas and other gastrointestinal distress. I learned that there are foods to avoid: fruits, vegetables, dairy products, carbs--essentially the entire Food Pyramid. I learned that there are some potentially serious conditions that have these symptoms, but I don't think I'm in those dark waters yet. And I learned about some home remedies: simethicone, lactase, and activated charcoal.

Activated charcoal evidently helps relieve gas pressure in the colon. Since I was experiencing some of this, I'm thinking, "Cool. Where can I get activated charcoal?" It turns out there's a product called CharcoCaps for just this purpose. So I Googled "CharcoCaps" and this result was the second one listed:
