Ok so this may seem like a complete joke but i promise its genuine....

To cut to the chase i have been doing some travelling, and since returning home it has come to my attention that i have some intense stomach problems. (No kidding - like i mean severe).

The only way food can enter my system is if i smoke up some green (by enter i mean the food remains in my stomach for more than 10 mins).

At the moment i am trying to cut down on smoking but im thankful for the temporary help this provides, otherwise i just cant eat (immodium is useless to me).

If someone could explain, i wouldnt mind knowing why i am able to eat and feel fine after smoking, but for the rest of the time i am bent over double in the bathroom...

*excuse me i must now run back to said bathroom* 8o
 
where did you go? outta country? apparently your in the UK but i know here in north America we are all told that if we go to mexico, dont drink the water.

there are plenty of parasites that are indigenous to certain populations water and or food supply. the parasites arent so severe that the native population cant get used to them n build up immunities/a tolerance n they are fine

but it is common for people to go to a new area n not be accustomed to certain bacteria n such

also the reason why weed helps is b/c it is an antiemetic. but if i were u i would keep smokin as long as u cant keep food down cuz that helps, if u dont wanna be stoned all day then try smokin less or just a half hit or even smaller if u must

shouldnt be a big deal just ride it out but.... if it does persist (more than 2-3 days) see a doctor
 
i was around africa and had a thoroughly good time. before returning i was in egypt. i think i know that the problem involved food washed in water although im a tad unsure. it sucks because the others on the trip and i had been so careful about eating/drinnking.

ive been bad for over a week with no letting up, and im seeing a doc on monday (i might just discuss my alternative medication with him too!)

however, i am more interested in the scientifics behind why the cannabis helps. whilst being very ill, the experience has triggered a genuine interest in the fine herbs medical uses (i knew such use existed, i was just never interested in the deeper explanations).

anything more on that side of things would be hugely appreciated.

and thanks for the reply highonlife!
 
Most of the time you end up with cannabis treatments being developed based on experience rather than medical rigor simply because of the state of the world. Even when the properties are compelling enough for mainstream medicine they generally try to duplicate the action with a synthetic so they can control the tests and patent the result.

There's an OK book though that can be fairly scientific (along with a bit of voodoo) - and it has a chapter just for you!

I'm no doctor but dude, this sounds like it has NOTHING to do with weed. It sounds like you picked up a disease or maybe an STD off some foreign hooker. Maybe you got some kind of virus off of a mosquito or off of water. Maybe you shouldn't have had sex with all the foreign women and drank all that foreign water. My guess is its some disease that cannabis happens to temporarily suppress and you need to seek REAL MEDICAL ATTENTION off of DOCTOR.

Just my guess though.
 
Sounds like you just got traveler's diahrrea or whatever.

I feel for you man, I think I have a problem somewere in my GI tract, my doctor didn't really help much, first said I had acid reflex (which I guess I do heartburn if I eat really early or used to occur) and now said I could have IBS and that I should eat more fiber (makes no sense)

I really like to eat spicy foods and used to be able to with no problem, but now after eating hot wings I get horrible stomach pains and shortly have burning diahrrea. I also get it from random other foods sometimes, and whenever I get up early usually I cannot eat anything for the fear of having to shit. It is really bothersome and I sometimes worry about it while travelling, but there are periods where I will feel fine. Its a shame the only thing that has helped me is weed, I can smoke feel fine, eat a good amount of food and I won't get a stomach ache or have to shit everything out shortly after. I can't always buy weed either because my parents won't let me spend my money so I have to save up lunch money I get from school (sad) to buy weed.

Don't get me wrong, I do it mainly for recreational use, but it really does help my stomach alot and I feel much better, I'd also smoke before going to school and be able to eat breakfeast and have a good day (I used to do this alot and my grades never suffered, actually suffered when I was forced to smoke less, but I could of been depressed) I wish I could tell my mom that it really helps me but it would be seen as an exscuse. I wish I could legally get something to help me lol. No doubt if I was an adult and lived in Cali I'm sure an MMJ doctor would recommend me for my problems.
 
yo rio i think you have the wrong end of the stick entirely.

im not blaming smoking for my illness (why would i ever do that?!). i have FOOD POISONING. ive had it before, ill have it again.

im not necassarily asking for suggestions as to how i became ill.

i want to know why i can only eat after smoking without the food coming back out.

sorry if im ambiguous.
 
and ason, thanks for the concern man! as for smoking when studying and negatively effecting results i think thats bullshit. i smoked up everyday, even when i was sitting my big exams. for the last 2 years ive studied at a top uk university and i still smoke before exams. no problems with results.

the experts may disagree, but then again who are the experts?

i wouldn't do that...here in the US, any time i've disclosed this information, my treatment seems to dwindle. i think that if a doctor thinks you buy drugs off the street, you're just in their office to score some legitimate drugs.

just go and tell the doc about your guts...not smoking chronic

weed relieves nausea, i thought that was a very well know fact. for most people it is the most effective thing out there for that.
 
It's Typhoid

I do a lot of traveling. Just came back from Africa myself. I would be willing to bet you have Typhoid fever. Did you not get a shot for Typhoid before leaving for Africa? If you didn't, you need to give a stool sample to a doctor to find out for sure if you are not better in a couple days.


"However, persons who do not get treatment may continue to have fever for weeks or months, and as many as 20% may die from complications of the infection."

on the contrary on a few occasions it has actually done the opposite, and ive seen many people with the same problem (but thats probably through smoking too much too fast).
 
Ya sometimes if you get too high or smoke when already really drunk then its going to lead to vomitting, but generally cannabis is regarded as an antiemetic and should help relieve nausea.
