Below are various items that will bind mycotoxins, or bind bile which is attached to mycotoxins. Some of the studies are research that measures the ability of a product to bind to mycotoxins in the food or to decrease mycotoxin burden in the body. I am getting the research data up as fast as I can. I have a lot of it and I am accumulating more each day. Just need to get it on here for you.
Cholestyramine has been used for a variety of biotoxins including mycotoxins with very good results. It may be a better choice for ochratoxin than for aflatoxin or trichothecene. For aflatoxin and trichothecene charocoal and bentonite clays may be a better binder. Calcium D-gucarate may help remove trchothecene. Sometimes people use all three together and there is research showing this may be a good option sometimes. All should be taken away from foods and medicines as described in the section on "How to take cholestyramine."
A list of Items that are used or researched as biotoxin binders:
