Activated charcoal
Pharmacy charcoal tablets used short-term for acute digestive upset while you assess hydration and medical care.
Activated charcoal tablets—often sold under names guests recognize from home—are a common short-term aid when someone hits sudden digestive upset after food or water changes.
They are not a substitute for fluids: pair with oral rehydration salts, rest, and escalation if fever or dehydration persists.
For broader context see Bali Belly.
