burn out said:
i only drink about once a week, usually from 12-16 beers. id drink a lot more than that if not for my stomach problems. sometimes i drink and my stomach will feel arlight the next day so i think its alright to drink again, then ill drink again and my stomach will hurt for several days.

this might be an explanation for your problem burnout, non chronic(hehe) pancreatitis:

Alcohol is responsible for about 30% of all cases of acute pancreatitis in the US. Approximately 10% of patients with chronic alcohol consumption can develop episodes of acute pancreatitis.

my wife has this problem, she can get away with guiness ocasionaly but a few sips of wine, ale/beer, or spirits and she has the stomach pain you described.

yeah ive read about pancreatitus, is there a cure for it besides not drinking? i can cut back on drinking, i just dont want to stop completely.

also, can it be caused by marijuana? because ive only ever had this problem since smoking marijuana. before that alcohol never bothered my stomach. when i read about the ridiculous amounts some people here drink and there stomachs are still alright, it makes me realize how badly marijuana screwed up my stomach. i guess i need to see a doctor, explain my history of marijuana and get expensive tests done on my stomach.
 
if it is pancreatitis, it can become chronic and happen even with out drinking if you continue to do so.

all i could find about MJ and stomach pain is that it can pain can occur as a withdrawl symptom. my guess to why that would happen is pot releves, and relaxes the stomach. after smoking frequently over time your stomach doesnt have pot to help it relax so it kind of goes into shock from sort of, forgetting how to on its own.

i have never had that problem though, and i smoke as much as possible.

Go to the doctors will be the best overall just to make sure that you are not potentially damaging yourself more!!!

I was a huge drinker/everyday for about 2 1/2 years ~ I had had stomach problems also but not like the ones you describe.

Get checked out and take it from there but try and stay positive and perform any tasks you can think of ~ no matter how small!:), you might end up finding something that you enjoy more than drinking, but I know it's bloody hard!

GOOD LUCK

Hope that all gets sorted xxx

yeah its weird, ive tried to research the affects of cannabis on the stomach and i never found anyone else reporting the stomach problems it gave me. i read that it could cause delayed gastric emptying, which i also have so i think it must have something to do with that. why it happened to me and not other stoners i dont know though.

im not sure yet really, i found out i have HHPD (minor tho) from too much drugs

im considering my options, i cant think all day i stayed in bed unplugged my phone cant move with depression (supposed to be on SSRI but didnt because i want to continue to binge on 8 E pills) theres a bottle of vodka in my dads trunk in the basement of my apartment, all i have to do is go get it drink it all and die.

i want to drink so bad, if i do my dad will kick me out of my house and im really really fucked i dont want to be homeless fuck

im having difficulty dealing with everything really, i can do it though im not an addict ive lost it all sports life friends i am in a box i created i am creating my death. im more leaning towards saying fuck it and drinking because i want to become a junkie (cant belive ime saying that) because i love oxy did it 4 times loved it (ive loved every substance ive ever tried and gotten addicted to it i only didnt get addicted to oxy via its too fucking expensive)

i remember i liked benzo high but i dont remember it at all? fuck, even on alcohol ive never blacked out and not remembered the high at all like benzos

i should just keep sober to let my brain recoup and then i can go back to hiding my use of substances from everyone (in 2-3 week or more tho god thats a hellishly long time) im nearly exhausted from running away but i think i can go longer

On the topic of stomach problems ... When I was drinking heaviest, rather than being able to drink increasingly larger amounts, I'd start getting sick [often the morning after], even off normal amounts [5-7 drinks, either beer or whisky].
My stomach would feel like hell ... I finally swore off hard liquor entirely after the last time I suffered so.

I must have puked at least three times in the last three months of last year ... notable as I'd never puked, during or after, in all the years I ever drank in Uni.
 
dying inside fucked if i do or dont want to drink till death just feel the OD coming on and let the music fade. nothing i want more friends trying to hold me back, maybe i just should binge it out get hell from my dad beg him to not thro me out of my house and go to in patient rehab (so terrifying dont want to go)
 
see, this is the kinda shit that keeps me drinking.
i havent had more than 4 beers in the last 2 days, not even enough for a buzz and lo-and-behold, i come to realize i've been awake for 48 straight ours w/no end in sight. :P
 
^haha that really resonated with me!

every damn time i mix the 2, i wake up somewhere i shouldnt, usually under less-than positive circumstances...
 
i cant wait, i gotta grind 3 weeks sobritey but i got some sniffing ethanol, i just need to grind my teeth, always a plus side tho, tolerance must drop decently by then (would be around 25ish days without alcohol), then i might have a full time job so ill just no stop bing drink all day every day friday night thru-sunday, then do weed during the week. best of both worlds, extreme binge drinking and wont get physically addicted again, and hey sobreity aint so bad (i have my good hours and bad hours). ill dxm, use inhalants, and ill be good to go soon enough.

Well, that was obvious; I ended up coming-to with my face nested within a bowl of ice-cold chips that had been piping-hot when I'd first met them...

I'll try to avoid this behavior in future, because it's dangerous and embarassing, and I would rather remain conscious during the day. There's no way I can afford to just mess things up-up-up due to benzodiazepines and alcohol combinations. :\

Fool-me. :|
WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


YOU drinking !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LIKE ME SHOOTING SMACK again !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
