Another natural way to adsorb toxins in the GI tract is to use
Metamucil. If you are already tending to constipation, this may cause some more slowing of the bowel.
When I was young, I had a spell of some GI bug which was pretty awful...so I went to a GI specialist who helped me with my malrotation diagnosis previously. He suggested the Metamucil back then, and it worked like a charm on the horrific diarrhea.
Today the use of binding resins etc, have become a more mainstream treatment. We see Metamucil advocated now for lowering cholesterol (if you believe all that cholesterol hype) as well.
My son is using the Metamucil now for his IBS looseness very successfully. He had alot of antibiotics in early childhood, for chronic ear infections. I think he has chronic Candida now. But he is really liking the Metamucil daily still over several months.
So if you suspect a dysbiosis and don't want the cholestyramine intervention, a natural alternative is Metamucil...now renamed Meta. The Chia seeds also have a gum like quality, but some people are really intolerant of them as causing diarrhea.
