Marijuana Causes Bad Stomach Problems, Etc.

[mjfriendly]

I too get stomach upset, bloating and a visit to the washroom as well from the pot. I know its the pot because I haven't smoked in over 20 yrs. but last 2 wks I have started smoking again for medical reasons. I am only smoking before bed, what I have also found is that it depends on the stain. If I can't handle this side effect, I simply take a 1/2 dose of pepto and I am on my way to comfort. Hope it helps U out know its helping me.

My wife has SEVERE reactions to hemp seeds and anything with hemp oil in it. She's never smoked pot so I'm not sure how that would affect her. A few months ago I bought a pack of shelled hemp seeds, tried them out and they were wonderful. She put a spoonful on some cereal and a few hours later she was blowing chunks. The seeds did not even cross my mind as being a problem so we thought it must have been food poisoning (we ate out). After about 6 hours of puking, she finally got some relief. She said it might have been the seeds but I assured her it could not be so a few weeks later she tried some more - and she spent the night puking her guts out. Another couple of months went by and we were in a health food store and she bought an energy bar with hemp seeds in it. I warned her about it but she said she didn't think it would hurt her, being with other stuff. She nibbled off a piece about 2 grams in size. Again, she spent the night puking for about 6 hours til every single seed had been rejected from her body. I've never heard of this but I'm seen enough to convince me. Our daughter had given her some lip balm with hemp oil in it, only to discover that she gets little blisters on her lips when she uses it. I'm seriously wondering if cannabis will do the same thing. I know hemp and cannabis, although closely related, are different. I guess I could start with a whiff of smoke or something and build up to see how she reacts. Anyone ever heard of this before?

Why are you saying your problem is a reaction to pot? You smoked for years, recently started having stomach problems. Take the colonoscopy because it's not the pot, as you will find out when you quit smoking it. A good idea is to try a raw food detox diet. Detoxify your body and cleanse your GI with healthy organic foods. After the first week you will feel 10x better, at the end of the month when you are finished you will be a new man/woman.
I still dont see why you think the pot is hurting your stomach, was it because you read that article?? I can show you articles that prove pot will help your stomach pains... let me see what dr bob has related to GI disorders.
Crohns disease
GERD
Ulcers
There you go, read those and your problems wont be related to pot anymore. I really hope you try the detox cleanse, then the colonoscopy. It is FOOLISH to think smoking pot will do those things to your body. It's the pepsi and cheetos you ingest after smoking that is the problem, good luck.

i total agree..this is my story off what ive been through and still am in the last 5 years,...ill try and keep it short ,had to come back and edit it...
hopefully it makes since,as to me it seems like the last few years have just been repeating them seleves..

it aint short.....lol
if you cant be arsed to read it all,read year 1,skip year 2,read half end of year 3,skip 4and 5,and catch up in year 6..

about 5 years ago i was on holiday and one evening felt sick,half hr later after being sick i was in very bad pains in my stomach and going round to my back....that was it from then on i was in pain and being sick whenever i ate something and i mean every time i ate,the amounts i could eat slowly went down until i couldnt even eat 1 crisp without being sick,still in constant pain,more just after i had thrown up.by this time i was under the hospitals and had tests started on me...the year gose on.about 8 months into the year,after in and out for tests,and also going into hospital about once a week so they could re-dehydrate me,as i couldnt by then even take a small sip of water without being sick....if i looked at a plate of food made me feel sick and was a few times...my weight was going down,over all i went from 13.5 stone down to 8 stone...by the end off the first year i was in under a london hospital,and they had decided to do my first operation...a stomach bypass,,during this time,they was pumping me tablets up slowly swapping and changing them about and was taking about 20 different ones a day for pain,sickness,etc.and as off today am still on 12 different sickness drugs....i had the op came out of hospital a week later,which was only a couple off weeks before xmas,so was happy thinking great home for xmas had the op,job done im sorted....and i was for a couple of months,then it started again being sick,what went down me throat came back up.... .........,thats better had roll a joint (for pain relief,mite i just add,since that is the main point of this thread)i hadnt forgotten,and make a drink..so this takes us into year two...

..... .... YEAR 2

tests start all from the sickness again,which they did all the time though out......3 months later,been in and out hospital,test after test,all tests coming back clear....another 3 months later,been doing same thing....more test,..swapping and changing me pills about...about 9 months into the year..id had all tests done all come back clear..they didnt no what to do,and had to have a think for about a month,and dont forget i was still being sick and in pain,all the time,and losing weight....by the end of the year they decided to do another operation,they thought the by pass they did wasnt working right or something so they would take it down....i had the op came home..which takes us to my third year.

.......... year 3


thinking i was sorted once again..and once again i was for a couple of months...then it started again...copy and paste year 1 or 2 again,read that which takes half way into the year roughly,by this time,i had had all the same tests repeated at least once each plus a few different ones...then i think the doctors went on holiday for a couple of months as didnt hardly see them and had no tests done...which was great actually as was aloud home after just doing a 4 month spell in a hospital,that wasnt nice..and wanted to get home..was gagging for a smoke.by now i was noticing when i was aloud to go home i was smoking more and more weed all the time as when i did i felt better then while in the hospitals.and was smoking more weed as well rather then the solid i used to,before i became ill ( i no solid,how could you,its shit,dont bring that stuff near me,etc,etc... ),..a few months later when the doctors turned up..they had made there desion....WTFS A MATTER WITH YOU,WE HAVENT GOT A CLUE...fuck it i thought to put it politely.
then they sad there is one thing we COULD try,that was a big operation,which involved taking aload of me bits out,cutting bits off and swapping about etc...they actually didnt no what they operation would involve as until they opened me up and looked once again they didnt no,but they dont like doing that sort of op on some body as young as me,its normally 70/80 year olds,which is why they took so long to decide what to do..by this time i had had enough of hospitals,had no choice but to have it done...i went into hospital one day and had the operation...after the op was done they came to tell me what they had done it went something like..we took a bit of this,we took a bit of that,stuck this up there,and the thing left over they stuck it some where....the bits i can remember they put in the bin was...
the top half of my pancreas,
half my stomach roughly,
my duodeum,
bit of my small and large bowl (this was actually needed to stick some where else,but on the pictures it looks like they cut out 10 foot because they needed 6 inches of it),
thats all i can remember.oh and the couple of bits they said you dont actually need was gaul bladder and something else,so while we had you open thought we take em out neways...cheeky fookers i thought throwing away my good bits as well....that was it all over had the big operation that...that takes us to year 4.

YEAR 4....

the operation didnt bloody work....
spent the yeah doing as the previous couple of years....all tests have been done once or twice again, but still coming back clear.
still being sick but a little less often.and pains not gone.
on loads of tablets a day.even more weed..which takes us into year 5.

YEAR 5

quite year took a break from hospitals for about 9 monthes...purely because the doctors and stuff just dunno what to do next..had the odd check up now and then....going into year six.....

year six

having deja vue again...the tests have just within the last 8 weeks started again...but have been transferred to a different hospital,and am under a PROFESSOR OF THE STOMACH,AND NERVE SYSTEM...
ive had two tests so far with him 1 been clear awaiting other results..
my condition at moment.
still take 12 different prescrition drugs a day which only 2 or 3 off actually do nething...i smoke me weed,which dose more than the tablets...boom boom boom...to be continued...the end.

ps...going by my last 6 years me weed dont give you stomach pains..it makes em better,if my pains are better im not sick so much,if im not sick i dont get the pains...

now me fingers are going to fall off

Victozap, if you have never tried that before I would recommend that you smoke something near even indica/sativa, or indica dominant. I have seen some people when mixing speed with sativas get pretty paranoid and such.

EDIT:



If you are healthy don't worry about it. I had been taking addies all night and smoking sativas like it was my job, my heart rate (after sitting down for over an hour) was 120bpm.

I have been having these stomach problems as well. I am 24 and have been smoking pot since i was 18 and in the last year I have developed a serious stomach problem. About 5 times in the last year i have gotten so sick that i would throw up 20 to 30 times each time it would happen. I would also have extreme nausea and eventually bad abdominal pain from all of the dry heaving, as well as extreme loss of appetite and lots of burping all the time every day. I have triggered these symptoms a few different ways the worst was from over exerting myself Wakeboarding and then eventually becoming dehydrated from not being able to hold down liquids, this time i had to go to the hospital an get an iv. Another time the same thing happened after a football game but i went home and threw up all night in the bath tub until i felt better 12 hours later. I also can not drink alcohol anymore or it will trigger this most times. The most recent episode was today witch is day tree of quitting marijuana. I was in town today and got hot sweats in the bank and threw up in the parking lot an my way to my car followed by a few more times on my way home. If i am able to get in a hot shower or better a bath depending on how bad it will go away in any ware from 2 to 12 hours depending on how bad. I cant be sure if this is marijuana related but i feel like it is even though i am having problems wile quitting. I have been a heavy user and always use a vaporizer and i have high levels of thc because i have very little body fat so can that make quiting that much worse. Any incite on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

i no all about throwing up lol...and pain been doing it for last 5 years it aint very nice..your syptoms started off sounding like mine,but ive never had the hot sweats or nothing..see me post i put about my last 5 years

you say you have started smoking again for medical reasons,i take you are smoking weed,if so was it prescibed from the doctor..?

sorry about all the post..not worked out how to use my multi quote properly yet...think im doing something wrong..if anyone can help there plz

Hey Easy- whatever you do, don't go to the doctor so he can run some tests and help figure it out!!!!!! Sounds like an ulcer or bowel issues to me, caused by bad diet. Pot doesn't cause stomach issues, unless you're eating it. So, continue to suffer until u can't stand it amy longer- and then go see an internist for tests and meds.....

good advice..keep away from the bloody doctors...hate em all they have done to me so far...been there done that got 5 t-shirts... but have just been transfered to a professor of the stomach and nervers system or something,he was talking about to me about testing all my stomach nerves and muscles to see if they are sending the right signal to my brain sounded bit confusing to me hope hes good as i have forgotten to say in any of my posts yet,apart from what ive already said,in the last 2 years i have had 2 blackouts and excactly 51 weeks later,3 weeks b4 the year was up,i no that as if you have a blackout or fit or something like that your not aload to drive for 1 year,i had 3 weeks before i was aloud to drive again,had another blackout (gutted)..no driving for another year.... the second year was up this friday YIPPEE and i got me car bac at last.
after each blackout i had a full body scan and head and brian scan,both times have come back as clear....

 

[ganjaluvr]

I'm no doctor..

but from what I have read.. and from the symptoms you are describing here it sounds to me like you might be having some kind of anxiety attack.

I'm prescribed Xanex bars for my anxiety..

I would suggest that you may want to go to your family doctor.. and talk to him about it possibly being an anxiety issue.

I suffered from most of the symptoms your talking about.. and then I was diagnosed as having an extremely high anxiety level.

just a thought.. if i didn't help.. sorry.
if this did help some.. your welcome.

peace.

You're not a doctor and you're not qualified to make that assumption. Nor am I but I can tell you that if you're going to be sure it's the pot you're going to need your endocannabinoid system examined, which means probing around your brain.

as i have recently had my blackouts and had body and brian scans times 2,would mine of been tested?...if so my new professor bloke that wants to have a bash at me,and test all my mucles and nerves stomache to brian,wont all the tests he wants to do be the same as a brian scan...hmmme,and come back clear ..and now started talking about chemicals and brian systems etc im getting a bit lost even though or am i just stoned

Something you smoke generally wont give you stomach issues unless there's already an underlying health concern that makes it more noticeable. You probably have KOODIES! EEEEEEW! lol.....

 

[bigcat32]

Taken directly from a published clinical result;

Migraine, fibromyalgia, IBS(Irratable Bowel Syndrome) and related conditions display common clinical, biochemical and pathophysiological patterns that suggest an underlying clinical endocannabinoid deficiency that may be suitably treated with cannabinoid medicines.

i havent got ibs,but my landladys daughters just got it fairly recently...

my doctors and surgeons say its not a mechical probley i got..

GREEN LEAF

after many years of weed and pot smokes all complaining they got a bad tummy,and all the doctors,and surgeons had enough they must find the answer for this bad tummy ,which they were just calling bad belly until they had found out what it was causing all these bad bellys..2 weeks later on a sat afternoon, at 3.30 50 of em doctors,nurses,professors,and other medical people garthered to watch the football and have a bbq...and disscuse once and for all the cause of bad belly..so they did,they were aloud to take 5 strong spliffes with them of varies brands of weed to smoke to help them decide...they sat down to watch the football with there burgers and watched the match..no one spoke till half time...then suddenly they all jumped up had a spliff and dissued the matter...10 mins later for the second half they were all bac in there seats quite,till after the game..then they said it...the answer they been looking for after 20 years..all weed and pot smokers had developed a new virus and ... GREEN LEAF WAS BORN
GREEN LEAF...is a new green thc virus..its caused by long term weed smokers over 30/40 years were slowly starving there bodies of oxegen.as the more weed they smoked the faster they become ill as the thc trys to leave our bodies through our skin,but is too big with the virus on it gets stuck to the inside and starts to buld up..
THE STOMACH is always the first to go as because its in the centre of the body and large its used as a air pump to constantley supplying the rest oif the body,but as soon as green leaf has sealed the outside the only air left is in the stomach and once used up YOUR FUCKED..there are operations and medication u can go on,but very rarley do they work.the best thing for it is weed the stronger the better as the green leaf that lives on the thc, builds up and up the more thc it need to breed which is why is the best thing for it..to keep the body going

the doctor unfortunortly havent yet found out how to cure it,but say since that saturday afternoon watching the footie they have broken into new areas of medical reaserch of GREEN LEAF

I read the linked paged and I think the whole thing was bullshit! honestly I feel like the hunger you feel from smoking marijuana a.k.a "the munchies" is just a thought in your mind. I don't know if this is true or not but someone told me once that because of some of the effect on the body from THC that your blood sugar sends a mixed signal to the brain to say its low and low blood pressure makes the brain think thoughts of hunger so in all actuality it would have nothing to do with your stomach. All I know is this just seems like another case of someone just blaming the plant a.k.a weed and as I like to say " you cant blame the weed"

 

[dirtnap411]

I kinda figured there was something up when I read the link in the OP, it's a "cannabis addiction" forum, for what that's worth.

how the hell u gonna come up on RIU.org! bitchin about how bud makes ur stomache hurt. why r u on this website? take ur cryin somewhere else.

Pot is smoked to counteract just about every thing you stated. It's much more likely that you got abducted by aliens and they implanted something deep in your anus.

I'm also a long time sufferer from just about everything there and smokeing is about the only thing that helps me. when i run out i eat maybe one meal every 3 or so days.

 

[Tagh]

I was about to pull out $4000 from my IRA for a colonoscopy to get myself checked.

My grandma gets it done once a year for FREE Go Canada!
Had to say it.
