Here are a couple.of quick reads for you. My Dad and step Mom got us into this stuff. It WILL improve your BM's and regularity. We take a heaping tablespoon before bed and it really cuts down any bloating or stomach distension you might get. There are other benefits just make sure to get Food Grade. We get ours off Amazon.
We also use it for pest control as insects can't tolerate it and it basically tears them up inside out. Just use a bottle to spread a 1/4"-3/8" perimeter around windows or doors and watch your bug issues practically disappear. It's safe for your animals too.
*********************************
Diatomaceous earth is made from the fossilized remains of tiny, aquatic organisms called diatoms. Their skeletons are made of a natural substance called silica. Over a long period of time, diatoms accumulated in the sediment of rivers, streams, lakes, and oceans. Today, silica deposits are mined from these areas.

Silica is very common in nature and makes up 26% of the earth's crust by weight. Various forms of silica include sand, emerald, quartz, feldspar, mica, clay, asbestos, and glass. Silicon, a component of silica, does not exist naturally in its pure form. It usually reacts with oxygen and water to form silicon dioxide. Silicon dioxide has two naturally occurring forms: crystalline and amorphous. Most diatomaceous earth is made of amorphous silicon dioxide. However, it can contain very low levels of crystalline silicon dioxide. The first pesticide products containing silicon dioxide (diatomaceous earth) were registered in 1960 to kill insects and mites.
