This thread is about stomach cramps and mushrooms. Now, I know getting gassy and having a somewhat upset stomach is pretty normal after eating some zoomers. But sometimes, I seem to be much more afflicted by this then other people I'm with. On one occasion, every time I ate some shrooms out of the stash we had at the time, would make me physically sick.

Usually I'm fine, and I've never thrown up on shrooms again besides that one stash we had. But today I ate a small dose for the first time in months, I would assume no more then 2 grams and had a pretty upset stomach throughout the day.

Do any of you have any tricks to toning down that aspect of the expereince? Besides just bearing through it, I mean. Could it have been the contents of my stomach before eating shrooms? And while I was writing this, I heard that jingle in my head, and wondered if Pepto Bismol might help? I've never used it before.

What, does nobody have any experience with this?

Would ground mushrooms would be easier to digest? Would that even help the aches?

i just take some gasX...i just fart alot the day after shrooms, guess im luck y to endure what you have to.

I'll try that, thank ye.

It varies with the current flushes you have/had? Maybe there are some contaminates. However, you did say it effects you more so than people you're with. I've never experianced any gas/ gastric discomfort whilst on shrooms, I imagine I'm lucky.

It varies with the current flushes you have/had?

It seems to vary every time I eat shrooms. I can recall times when I felt fine nearly the entire time, maybe just a little rumbling in my tum-tum.

This one time, months ago, me and some others were sharing a bag of shrooms. This particular bag would always make me vomit. But it's never happened since then.

I've only ate a small amount from my current bag. It was nothing unbearable, but I did have a somewhat painful stomach ache the entire time.

Maybe there are some contaminates.

Yeah, thats what I thought about the bag which always made me sick. But everyone else who ate from it was fine.

However, you did say it effects you more so than people you're with. I've never experianced any gas/ gastric discomfort whilst on shrooms, I imagine I'm lucky.

Yeah, you are :(.

And yes, the stomach problems seems to affect me more then other people. I might as well mention, I seem to be more sensitive to drugs in general then most people I know. I always require less and seem to be more affected.

I also don't recall ever having a stomach ache like this, as far back as I can remember, unless it was from eating some shrooms. So maybe I just have trouble digesting them? I really don't know, sometimes I don't get a stomach at all. But, especially if I am alone, I usually do.

Does anyone know if grinding them up would make them easier to digest, or would that make no difference and produce just as much gas? Is it better to eat some breakfast first, or nothing at all?

I don't think grinding them up will really do anything. Although it may be tedious, have you ever considered extracting the psilocybin out of your mushrooms? Because maybe it's the mushrooms meats that are fucking with your stomach. Because if it was the extract would be your holy grail because shrooms are too fun to not do but if they hurt your stomach that would piss on the party a little for me.

Nausea Heart Burn Indigestion Upset Stomach Diareah

First time I did shrooms, I had terrible nausea (Despite thinking the shrooms didnt taste all that bad) and spent the first two hours of the trip laying on the grass in my friend's yard trying to maybe puke or something thinking that would help alleviate the discomfort. Although this subsided and the peak of the trip onward was considerably better than those first two hours. Not sure if this did anything, but any times I ate shrooms afterward, I would wrap then up in pieces of fruit roll-up and this seem to make it easier on the stomach. However this probably had more to do with the shrooms themselves being different than the candy.

I have a sensitive stomach and generally experience the same sorts of problems....

I find making "shroom tea" and ingesting them that way is MUCH easier on stomach...just make sure you filter it before you dirnk it and don't eat the "dregs" because that sort of defeats the whole point...

Also taking them with a little bland food (whether in tea form or not) generally helps me.

I'm sure bracing your stomach with some pepto awhile before dosing wouldn't hurt either...

have you ever considered extracting the psilocybin out of your mushrooms?

Yes, but thats something I would rather try once I start growing my own.

I bought some gasx today, in a day or so I'll find how that works.

Lucid, yeah I thought about the tea too after reading in other places that people have mentioned decreased stomach pains with in. But at the same time it seems like it would be disgusting ... if gas relief medicine works, then I think I'd rather stick to chomping them down with some watermelon.

Oh, I forgot about this.

I found it helps a lot. Thanks whoever.

If you take a small dose of dried shrooms, you should really:

--fast for 24 hours before
--only drink fruit juice or water during that 24 hours
--grind up or powderize the dried shroom(s)
--spoon it down with Kool-Aid

Some say spooning it down with lemon juice helps to extract the alkaloids, thereby (kind of) potentiating it.

ginger: in mush tea or with ginger tea or ginger ale.
