Yeah, it comes in capsules (I can understand why you'd give it a thumbs down if you weren't aware of that option). Once I gave some to a friend who had food poisoning or someting similar, but he couldn't keep them down long enough for them to open (puked 'em right back up). He was deathly pale by that point, and was mostly dry-heaving. I broke open the capsules and made a couple glasses of of mud, which he drank (it finally stayed down after a few small gulps didn't). In under 30 minutes his color was totally back and he was walking around and felt "fine." So there's even a place for the muddy version, which is just a little gritty, and absolutely tasteless. Once it saves your ass, you won't care what color the poop is, and you'll drink the mud without a second thought.
It adsorbs medications, though, especially birth control pills(!) if taken within an hour or two of the med, so read the label!
