Feeling bloated while tripping?

[Wolfmans_BrothEr]

Whether it's LSD or psilocybin, I've almost always felt extremely bloated during the come up - peaking. Occasionally it'll come back as I'm starting to come down, but it's almost guaranteed I'll feel bloated every time I trip.

Does anyone else have this happen or does anyone know why this happens?

I don't think it's caused by something I'm eating since it happens 99% of the time I trip, plus I usually don't like to eat a huge meal before I trip anyway due to nausea and such.

I don't know about 'bloated' so much, but I often feel my insides churning... I'm not sure if it's increased internal activity or just increased awareness of my body - or both.

I definitely know the bloated feeling from mushrooms, and from other psychs as well. Seeing as most of the body's serotonin receptors are located gastro-intestinally it should be no surprise that our stomachs feel things time to time.

like putingrad said, theres always some amount of GI distress with psychedelics for me too, because of these serotonin receptors, as well as some substances some natural drugs have (like other components of mushrooms for instance)
bloated... not so much really, it probably has more to do with what you ate before the trip. i usually feel a bit tense in the gut department, like my stomach is fighting to push through, or similar, with these feelings coming in waves, or fading fast... it really depends on the substance here. some are more violent than others.

some people have a moment, typically somewhere near or just after the peak, where they go to the bathroom and have an epically long and enjoyable urination. do you ever get these?

try preloading with fresh ginger root (has a powerful digestive enzyme in it) and digestive enzyme blends.

i think the problem is psychs cause the gut itself to produce gas, heartburn, nausea, etc and that the stomach is not normally equipped to deal with it. so if you preload digestive aids, and even take them during a trip if you want, this will help, or is at least in my short experience since i start preloading with them (which was admittedly not long ago but i keep bringing it up because everyone has the same problems lol).

Yep the longest piss of my life was on lsd. I've also had times where my urination takes long becuause its coming out really slow. That tends to happen on acid that has a bodyload though.

Ah yes the never ending piss on lsd. I know exactly of what your talking about :D

uuu yeah, pissing on psychedelics... how could i forget! though i get it on a number of psyches, not only lsd, but also mushrooms, 2cs, some synthetic tryptamines too. its more of an increase in the number of times i feel the need to go, though theres very little in the way of liquid coming out... and unfortunately it can get quite obsessive, eating up a lot of time.

also a good reason to trip in the woods at night.... where pissing right there isnt a problem

I found that smoking some cannabis beforehand and being rather stoned worked very well with preventing nausea. Me and my friend just spent the whole of the come up talking and laughing, no nausea at all except for a small churn in my stomach at one point, but that was fine.
