I've done some searching and it seems that there has been nothing that proves long term use of it to be harmful, but there has also been nothing that proves it is safe, either.

Since it's not considered an actual drug, it hasn't undergone all of the same testing and studies that they do.

Have you tried asking your doctor if they know anything else about it?

No..
I took activated charcoal daily for a month and it destroyed my gut flora.
I have IBS now.[Didnt have it before].
Ask your doctor before stopping too..it could be a delicate process while using probiotics.
