MDMA & Constipation

[Devo_]

Hey

Slightly embarrassing topic, but we're all friends here!

I have a huge history with pills and pure MDMA, not so much in the past year or two but previous to that I used MDMA pretty much every weekend and sometimes did 2/3 week+ binges with pills. I wouldn't ever touch pills again but I do like to "dabble" in MDMA every now and then. However, the past 4 or 5 times I have taken MDMA, I am greeted with mega constipation the following day, but at the same time it feels like I constantly need to go for a shit and it's really not too nice!

Not the nicest of topics I know, but I was wondering if anyone else gets similar side effects and/or has a solution?

I am pretty positive it's not that particular MDMA which is the cause because it's happened with different batches, and also none of my friends who took it with me have experienced these side effects.

Any input would be appreciated.
Cheers

After I take a pill, I know when I'm about to start rolling cause I gotta take a shit. Maybe you just got it all out of you the night before....


Maybe someone else has a more serious answer

i've never had that problem but when the mdma first starts to hit, 90% of the time i have to hit the bathroom for #2 and i'll be honest here, i don't go #2 normally all that often but mdma makes me poop almost every time.

i've never had any day-after problems but i have had some strange "i feel like i have to pee bad but i can't" feelings that really suck. that was hormonal due to metabolites of mdma, it feels like a UTI it sucks. back when i used to roll way too much I had that "i have to pee so bad but i can't" feeling for a week, it was hell! i felt like i was about to pee my pants practically but for the life of me couldn't make it happen. i thought it was a UTI but turns out it wasn't, at that point i assumed it was related to hormones from mdma consumption. i can't recall the metabolite off the top of my head or the hormone it effects, i have an old post somewhere around here where i mention it by name but i can't be trouble to search for it right now.

as for the pooping situation, the only way mdma effects the stomach i'm aware of is in the typical amphetamine fashion. you may want to google answers for your stomach problem and "amphetamine" instead of mdma because you'll get more hits that way and i'd be willing to bet the mechanism would be the same.

Oh I had that problem with smoking cigarettes actually. The cigarettes cause stress, stress causes inflammation, inflammation causes constipation.
Mdma or pretty much any stimulant puts stress on your body, which can cause inflammation. Certain people are more susceptible, for whatever reason.

Any type of negative reaction in your digestion.. always look at your diet, because that is the main source of your problem.

i get the same thing, i usually take a good solid shit about an hour into the roll, and that's the last time for a day or two. the next shit is usually just little marbles, and they take forever to leave, but then i get another really good day of shits. it's standard for me, doesn't freak me out, and it happens regardless of how much or when i last ate. it's normal for me, the way you shit is prolly normal for you.

One of the reasons could be that you are losing too much body fluids. When your body needs water it works harder at extracting the water available in your gut, which means that your shit gets dried out. Somebody here mentioned marbles ... or goat shit or whatever. This is typical.
Have you considered using an enema before rolling. That way your bowels will be clear and even if you feel like taking a dump there will nothing there to dump.

Hmm the body fluid reason might be why. I tend to drink a lot of alcohol when I'm on MDMA, so I guess the dehydration caused from that could be a factor. I'll be sure to drink less booze and more water next time haha. I'll try and watch my diet too, but the trouble is I never really plan to take it, I just sometimes come across some on a night out lol.
