Acute diarrhea normally results from a bacterial or viral gastro-intestinal infection. This is commonly seen as gastric flu, (travelers') diarrhea or food poisoning. It can mean the loss of important business or holiday days. For rapid recovery (and prevention), the patient needs a treatment that can be used at any time, has no contra-indications and no side-effects.

Toxins are readily bound by Norit and lose their capacity to irritate the gastro-intestinal tract. Norit is eliminated from the body in the natural way. The cause of the problem is removed without any disturbance of the normal bodily functions.

Norit can be taken safely at any age, and so far as is known, during pregnancy and lactation.
