marijuana and stomach problems

My specialist told me the same thing. Have been having stomach problems for years and still find it had to be leave it's the pot. Starts with reflux then stomach pains are so severe that vomitings the only thing to make me feel better. Going in for surgery to fix the reflux and see if that helps.

Exactly the same, been smokin everyday for 6 years and have ALL of the same symptoms. but i deff dont want to quit smoking, i just want to figure out the issue!

I'm a 21 year old female and I get occasional cramps but I find smoking weed relieves the pain from my polycystic ovaries! Keep your fluids up, don't eat too fast when you get the munchies and, if all else fails, hot water bottle! Obviously if it gets worse or you are really worried then go to your Dr! They're not there to judge!

I read a few of these posts - could it be this: Smoke, eat etc then go to bed. In the night could you be coughing up the sh*t in your lungs and swallowing it? In the morning when you cough up phlegm and spit it out it has little brown bits in it. Could a night of swallowing be causing your pain. It wouldn't take much to irritate your bowel especially if your system is delicate anyways? Some people can eat chillies some can't - perhaps your tubes are just getting irritated more than those poo pooing the effects of a very variable quality drug on an infinately diverse bunch of metabolisms???

When you accidentally swallow smoke and don't burp it up

acid reflux maybe thats what i have and, same thing one day just threw up non stop now i still suffer from it every day.

I started smoking reg. about 2 years ago.

It seems about once a year I get very bad Diarrhea, vomiting, stomach spasms, and extreme dehydration. I have had to go the ER each year, so far.

I don't smoke as much, but take the HONEY THC capsules. It seems to make no real difference. I am also getting this each time around flu season. So, I have battled trying to understand the orgin.

I have had many health issues come up since I blew out my knee skiing, 2 years ago. I was finishing a nursing program and injured myself a month before graduatuion. With no job or health insurance, I tried to rehab my knee and figure out when i will be able to get to work.

My partner has smoked for the last 20 or so years. I started smoking after my injury. I found I didn't have to take a lot of pain medication. 

 

The thing I hate most, is I can't be totally honest with docs, because of a little thing called the DSM. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental disorders. It says that anyone smoking or using marijuana is an addict and because of it's Federal Classification, it cannot be used as a medication. Until they change it  to say, be on par with Codeine, you can't be honest. Any use is considered addicition. 

Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome I am pretty sure this is real and I have had this off and on for years. I have bean a large marijuana user for most of the last 20 years. In the last 5 years or so I have had some severely sharp pains on my lower stomach area when I first wake up. It only seams to happen on an empty stomach. I imagine the pain is similar to passing a gal stone or having an ulcer because it feels like an object is tearing through your lower stomach/intestines. I can typically get rid of the pain by smoking more pot. Sometimes eating can work but if you eat and drink too fast it's vomiting time. This is one of the reasons why I am currently off pot. I have never had this happen to me off of pot. On a side note I am starting to think that my GI tract is messed up from candida over growth which supposedly affects 70-80% of Americans. Perhaps this plus marijuana use combine to cause Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome. It's a shame too I find a lot of relief from my adhd problems when I regularly smoke marijuana.

This is seriously the smartest, non professional, medical diagnosis for weed (especially the memory thing, pretty clever to connect that). Anyways just wanted to give you some praise on your excellent deductions.

its called gas milkman. i get it and have spoke to many people that said the same thing. i tried what a couple told me. eat something first b4 the brownies and take a beano pill you can get from store. my problem solved, off to the moon G/L

The problem is the THC in marijuana that affects a lot of hormones regulated by the hypothalamus which is a part of the brain that controls appetite, sleep, body temperature, etc. Smoking or eating will give the same results regarding this.
I can´t believe that many doctor still think that THC isn´t addictive. This substance releases dopamine like all other drugs and like I said it affects a lot of hormones in the body.

I think it's from swallowing the smoke or inhaling it into your stomach. I get sick the day after I smoke during the morning at work. It got worse when I smoked this black hash sh*t I bought. The smoke is really dirty , if you light it on fire it burns black as f**k. I feel good when I just smoke buds , then I smoked the hash. I felt good that night but the next day I felt bugged out and sick , if I could smoke at work I know it would knock that sh*t right out though. I feel better if I'm moving around and working hard if I'm just sitting around driving I get sickest. I'm going to start swimming in the morning when it gets hotter and see if that helps.

My wife has a problem with pot and her stomach. Even pot brownies makes her stomach hurt.

 

 

I heard that smoking weeds kills intestinal flora, which seems a likely culprit for the digestion problems I have been having. I smoke everyday and even while eating a macrobiotic diet- as long as I smoke- I get bad diarrhea, gas, and indigestion. For a time of 4 months I didn't smoke and followed a very clean and balanced mostly plant based diet and my bowel movements became normal. At this point I am almost certain that smoking is destroying my gut flora.
