hey guys,
im about to ingest an 1/8 of these delicious shrooms, and last time i did this act i had an upset stomach the entire time, i was wondering if theres anything i should do before hand to help prevent an upset stomach. Will pepto bismol or tums work? let me know,
thanks in advance,

matt
 
Not much you can do to really alleviate it. Stomach aches on shrooms is very common, just try not to focus on it
 
You might not be able to get rid of it but ginger, small amounts of marijuana can help in some cases. I'm amazed at how intense the trip after the occasional purge can be.

Oh, and many people say making it into a tea gets rid of any nausea.
 
1 dramamine beforehand and some weed as needed can make all the difference if you tend to get nausea from psilocybin.
 
Marijuana does often cause extra anxiety though so make sure you're prepared. Also, I find that smoking before the peak isn't a good idea as it seems to interfere with the coming-up process and you never quite get to that state of clarity as intensely as without it. Smoking once you've reached the peak can be great though, although sometimes I don't because the trip tends to be clearer.

As mentioned, ginger can help. I believe something like Tums or similar might help, too, but I'm not 100% sure.

If you get nausea, try this trick though... it works in all situations, amazingly well. Press on the underside of your write with your thumb. Find the write bones, and just below that, in the center of your arm, there is a dip with a large tendon, the largest in your lower arm, slightly to the left. Just to the right of that tendon, there's a smaller tendon. Just to the right of that, there's a space without a tendon, where you can press in pretty far. On my write it's where a vein runs diagonally through my arm, right about on it to very slightly below, but it may vary by an individual's arm construction.

This is a pressure point. If you press on it solidly and hold it, your nausea pretty much instantly disappears, or dramatically lessens. If you're feeling uncomfortable, do this and it helps a lot. It's sort of a combination between reducing nausea and making it sort of "in the background" and easy to ignore.

Interesting trick that really works! :)
 
Ground ginger with some lemon has done the trick for me when the 'burps' start. Sometimes though that's just how it goes and as mentioned, I'd just go ahead and barf. You feel better and now your mind/body doesn't have to direct so much attention to the upset stomach, hence perhaps a better experience.
 
I'm gonna second the weed approach, but a much smaller amount than you would normal need to get a reasonable kind of stonedness, maybe like a third of whatever that amount is for you. That always kills off any stomach pains i suffer, which happens to me occasionally on shrooms. And yeah, smoke it after you come up, just bear whatever you have to until then.
 
try to eat good food that day for one. that always helps. dramamine or a promethazine tablet have helped me in the past if you can get either one. and of course, weed is the strongest nausea remedy ive ever used. =)
