Guys, I've more or less read every post about PST and can't find any conclusive answers regarding the contents of PST? Lately I've been getting stomach cramps/general discomfort in the lower right quadrant 20 - 30 minutes after consuming ~1-2 lb "B'sRM" seeds that makes me nervous. How possible is it that PST could actually have a real negative impact on health? What could cause the discomfort?
I use a minimal amount of water so it's not that, and I pee frequently and regularly take other opioids, so morphine/codeine/etc can be ruled out as perpetrators.
I found ONE research article from 1979 concerning the levels of fertilizer in poppy seeds post-process which is really of no help as it's so dated.
Call me a hypochondriac (I am), but some reassurance that the seeds are "relatively" (I know, to what?) harmless (in terms of biological safety, not opioid contamination) would be just amazing. I have a very reliable local supply of these little guys so it would be disappointing if I found out I'd have to face withdrawal with loperamide alone (which has a questionable safety profile, anyway).
Here is a list of what 100 grams of p. somniferum seeds contains nutrients-wise. I wonder how much of the nutritional content of the seeds comes out with the wash? The fat content could do a number on your stomach and I imagine the "tea" has a significant amount, but I'm speculating. Thanks for reading, guys.
