marijuana and stomach problems

That sucks! Retired and can't smoke! I hope that doesn't happen to me!
Have you tried any over the counter meds for your stomach to see if there's a difference?

I have such problems with the stomach, but it is really over a dozen meals each morning I come to vomit after I have been doing much last day

I warn you this is going to be long, but I think it's worth the read.

Started dealing with this issue about 4 years ago, and spent a whole lot of time suffering like many here. I know how hard it can get, wishing it all could just somehow just go away even for just a moment to get some relief. I'm not 100% sure if my problem is the same as everyone else but my symptoms are intense waves of nausea that comes after eating food, in the middle of the night, during stressful times and sometimes (not as often) just seemingly out of nowhere. Also experience tenderness in the upper abdomen and also feelings of anxiety when going through it all. They would last throughout the night and sometimes even for a few days after. I would experience some times of 'relief' but knowing the whole time that it was just a matter of time before it would hit me again.

I remember being really frustrated that there were no answers to my problem besides quitting smoking which didn't really help that much until I had quit for a long while but unfortunately falling back into the same routine of smoking. I really think that most people that find their cure would move on with their lives and not remember to come back and help those who are still suffering. This forum in particular helped me a lot to at least see that I wasn't alone and that so many other were going through the same thing. So I really hope I can help people who are still dealing the really tough parts of this disease.

At first I did experience some relief from using D-Limonene once a week, which some might say it's from heartburn but no other heartburn medications would even touch my symptoms and some would even make them much worse. But after time it seemed to wear off and I don't really feel like it's a very good solution for most because it can have some side effects.

Lastly, my cure. Curcumin! Jarrows Circumin 95 is the brand I'm using but I would assume others would work too. It's probably worth noting that I've been using it for about 3 months but I have only had one episode since and it only lasted for one night during a really stressful time. I've just finished the first bottle and I can say that it has helped me a ton, it's not a cure all but it seems to really get me to a place where I don't feel like I'm suffering anymore. I don't take it every day but maybe every other day, sometimes even more.

I stumbled on this supplement because I had pancreatic enzymes that were high on blood tests a couple times during episodes and I've seen some studies (not many) that suggest that pot can cause an issue with the pancreas. I'm no doctor but circumin is an anti-inflammatory too and is a natural supplement so it can't be bad to give it a shot at least, but please do the research and decide for yourself if it's right for you.

I really hope I can help some people by posting this, I know at least for my myself that I was so desperate to find anything to give me some relief and I think really think I finally found it. Since using this I just recently quit smoking for the past 2 weeks or so and it's making it even better to deal with and haven't had an episode yet and have been eating more than I have in years! Good luck to you all, this disease although very cruel, I believe makes you stronger as a person after all we've been through.

TLDR: Try Circumin!! Or D-Limonene

I've been smoking for about 15 yrs now I'm 30 probably smoking everyday for 10 yrs never had a problem until this past 2 yrs I've been having stomach pain. upper left and bottom throat. I've had endoscopy and colonoscopies, all normal except a sore or two in the stomach, nothing major the dr says. even had kat scans, and ultra sounds all organs are good. i talk to my primary doctor and says eveything is helathy......she thinks it's anexity, stress I took pills for it, a year and a half didn't change idk what it is..... I eat a lot healther no fried food or fast food, soda, candy, choclate, etc. in the past 2 month and only smoke one bowl a day cause if i don't I do start feel anexity. i does feel like it's getting better but i still have uncomfortable feelings. just my advice (im.no dr) try eating healthier and try to live a stress free life ( very hard in kno) or I notice the pain does go away for a few hours when I keep my self busy and play sports or play video games. hope everyone gets better god bless....

I haven't found a single experience similiar to mine out of all the Google searches I've done so I'll share what's going on. Unlike others, I have never tried marijuana or any recreational drugs my entire life - and I'm now in my 40's. Also, never smoked a cigerette. No stomach, acid, or unusual gas issues until... last week. I had an edible. Specifically, a 20mg capsule. Within 20 minutes, stomach pain that only increased over the next two hours. I was miserable. Nauseous and feeling as though I was going to explode with gas pressure, I was nervous to try another. I waited a few days and tried another edible. A mint. Same reaction. Now, assuming I purchased low quality c**p (probably), I purchased a high quality dab. Needless to say, my poor husband has been avoiding me today due to a stinky gas filled woman in pain. So many have attributed gas/nausea discomfort to swallowing air, smoking it, having pre-existing health issues, etc. Well I'm a gal that can say without a doubt IT'S THE MARIJUANA. I know advocates hate hearing this, however it is what it is. Some people such as myself do not tolerate it for whatever reason.

Hello,

I've been smoking pretty much once-3 times a day for the last damn, I'd say 5 years. I usually smoke around an ounce a month and I believe that the weed has thrown my body out of sync. I was diagnosed with anxiety and IBS when I was 16 years old (26 now) and was told to find things that helped me relax ie: exercise, prayer, meditation, etc. I tried the exercising and that didn't really help so I started smoking weed after a friend with Chrons said it worked for him. It did work for me too, initially. About 3 years in, I started developing GERD-like symptoms and had crazy withdrawls from just stopping for a few days. Over the course of the next 2-years, the problems started multiplying and I blamed all of them on me being an "anxious" person.

Just last month I started developing crazy pressure and achy pains in my lower-right quadrant that wrapped around to my flank and back, additionally, randomly, I will get a shooting pain between my shoulder blades that shoots up my neck and jaw and forced me to lie down on my back and deal with the pain for 30ish minutes, very scary. I went to the dr for this and tests came back negative for anything.

Most recently I went on a trip where I couldn't smoke and I literally had no appetite the whole trip (4 days) and lost like 15 lbs in water weight from not eating. This was coupled with crazy anxiety, depression, irritability, insomnia, and cold sweats/cold intolerance. It ruined my trip in short. 

Now I'm starting to realize that most if not all of my stomach related/anxiety issues are probably made worse from smoking weed. I also tried just sticking to edibles, but they have little to no effect on me, even the really potent 500mg + ones. I understand that I can probably lessen these symptoms by "weeding off" of weed and hopefully getting to a point where I can live a life without it. 

I don't really care what people say about it, but anything that has the ability to alter your mind/body can be very addicting, especially if you are an addictive person.

Looking at my life now, I can see the relationships that I wasted, the friends that I have lost, the happiness I once had, and I have watched the once firm foundation I had in God, crumble to nothing. I feel like I have wasted the last few years of my life. I want to stop, but I can't see an end to the anxieties I currently have and need help.

Cannabinoid hyper emesis syndrome

It is the weed. I have the almost exact problems and have had them for years now. No one else has these problems but me, at least no one has told me. I have been smoking since I was 10, I'm 42 now. So yes a long time smoker. Yet for the last few years I get that exact same way every morning. When I go a couple of days without smoking all those symptoms go away. For about 2 weeks then start coming back. So I stop for a day or two and my system,my body goes back to normal. Its time to stop smoking it's only going to get worst. I have been diagnosed with all that c**p too. Trust me if you think it's pot the stop for a few days and see what happens. Your system will kind of reboot itself. Good luck

I quit for a month and now I take shallow hits. I dont know if it matters but I am thinking I get less in my stomach that way so far no re occurrence of stomach problems

I quit smoking about a month ago. Thought my issues had to do with smoking, but I'm still having some of the issues. For me it's acid reflux.

What is that ???

This is one of the most intelligent everyday guy responses I've heard on pot smoking and the reality of its effects.

I smoked manala creem 20 grams in 24 hours , i was high for next two days and my stomach started to pain. I though it was normal but now it seems to be like a serious problem. When the pain hits i start breaking down into sweat, m not able to manage the pain

Many people on here say a hot shower gets rid of the pain.

It might be because you're taking to large of a rip and possibly swallowing the toke?
