My wife found a sick kitten last week. It has snot coming out of its nose. Its eyes are closed, we are having to use a warm wash cloth to get them opened. The kitten is eating and drinking water and going to the bathroom. Would VAN BEEK GLOBAL DiaGel work for these symptoms?

I would advise NO; it is meant for gut health not respiratory. Sounds like you're doing all the right things: plenty of hydration, nourishment, wiping the eyes gently, keep her away from drafts, etc. If the nasal discharge is dark or discolored, and/or she starts to breathe through her mouth, please call a vet right away!
Diagel is for digestive problems so it will not help the kittens eyes. Kittens get viruses that affect their eyes. Some times the eyes get a bacterial infection too. It sounds like that is what your kitten has. He will need an antibiotic to clear up the eyes. Your Vet will know what bacteria he has in his eyes and what antibiotic will work to clear it up.
I would seek medical care. The SPCA and the Humane Society provide affordable care.
Don't take the risk! This is your fur baby,seek a professional!
Such a blessing that you took this poor baby in. Please get the vet to check it out before giving it any kind of pills/medicines. Safety first! Post back with an update! Prayers for healing.
Normally the cat would need some cream for the eyes to stop the infection. I would go to the vet and get the correct eye cream for the cat.
