It's  like my stomach swells up like a balloon and feels like it's gonna pop. I'm feeling the pressure in my chest now too. I usually use the vape pens, and I make my own cannabis infused coconut oil, that I use to make edibles. The swelling is less with those. When, or IF, I try to smoke any flowers, I don't do a lot.. but I wonder why I'm having this reaction to it. Anyone know what could be going on? \n\n\"\n_____________________\nIt sounds as if you are having some of the cannabis smoke entering your stomach, in essence \"swallowing\" the smoke. This may result is some burping as you release it. With the other methods you spoke of, the amount of smoke that enters your stomach may be less. Other then that I cannot think of a reason why that stomach bloating would occur.\n\nPerry Solomon, MD\n_____________________\nI have similar symptoms that you described and there are possibilities -- that do not include \"swallowing smoke\", especially since you said it also happens more mildly with edibles.  Consider that it might be a mild form of Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome.  Its seldom documented medically unless patients present at ER with non-stop vomiting that is oddly only relieved by hot showers. Like you, the only symptoms I have are extreme bloating. If I stop smoking, within about 24-48 hours the bloating subsides and I look and feel as though I lost 30 lbs.\n\nvch881\n_____________________\nI have the same issue as vch881. I have trouble with marijuana and I am trying to reduce consumption. When I smoke daily, I end up with a bloated feeling in my stomach a sort of swolen throat feeling. It is not painful but there is a constant feeling like there's something stuck in my throat and I need to swallow. I also feel the need to drink a lot of water when I am smoking marijuana so that contributed to the bloated stomach. If I stop consuming marijuana for a day or two it all subsides and my stomach and throat feel fine again. This is just a personal anecdote from my experience with marijuana over the years. \n\nRedwhite85","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9807-markdown","title":"What's the best way to consume a marijuana tincture?","slug":"whats-the-best-way-to-consume-a-marijuana-tincture","content":"\"My stomach is upset after I take CDB oil 1000ml via tincture. Should I be taking it once daily, or throughout the day? Should I take with or without food?\"\n_____________________\nThere's a lot of potential components at play here but the first thing I would suggest is that many patients find their medications more effective when used throughout the day instead of as a single dose. I personally recommend splitting your dose into 3 portions  - am, afternoon, and pm - so that you are consistently metabolizing the medications. If your approach to dosing is 3x/day, as opposed to more acute need single or \"one off\" dosing, then you could take your CBD oil with food to hopefully reduce the stomach upset. I would also consider the plant sourcing, extraction methodology, other ingredients, concentration and lab test results of the medication you are taking...while that's a lot to consider, it may be useful information to assess this stomach upset response.\n\njessicapeters","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7393-markdown","title":"How will CBD interact with Remicade and Prednisone for a child with CRMO","slug":"how-will-cbd-interact-with-remicade-and-prednisone-for-a-child-with-crmo","content":"\"My daughter has a severe case of CRMO (7+ bone lesions) and Celiac disease. She is currently taking Remicade infusions and 10mg of Prednisone a day. I have started giving her CBD oil because nothing else seems to work for her. She has only been on this for 2 days and has developed diarrhea and stomach cramps (more than common). I started doing more research and read that CBD could alter the effects of the medication that she is on. the last thing I want to do is compromise her getting better, but I would love to find an alternative that works for her that does not have the scary side effects like Remicade and Prednisone. Can you offer suggestions on if and how I should proceed with treating her with CBD oil? We live in Texas so it is difficult to obtain but I am willing to take her anywhere to get her healthy. \"\n_____________________\nI am sorry to hear of your problems in treatment especially since I know you want to help your child. CBD does support her immune system from attacking her bones so there could be some conflict from the prednisone since prednisone is given to quiet down the immune system to reduce the symptoms although 10 mg of prednisone is a low dose. The concern of course is that her immune system is being suppressed and it can allow for overgrowth of fungus as well as other pathogens in the G.I. tract.\nYou might try treating her topically with cannabis salve at the broken bone sites as well as where the nerves go into the spine and you can even massage her abdomen.\nCBD may be absorbed through the oral mucosa but it is also important to know exactly what is in your CBD and how was it extracted? Since she has such a sensitive digestive system the type of oil and the extraction process is important since any chemical residue or oils can have an affect on her G.I. tract. If you can get CBD in an oral spray, that may be of benefit to her. Some of the newer super concentrate CBD extracts maybe better tolerated because it is micro dosing and it potentially is less likely to affect her G.I. tract because of the minute amount she would take.\nThis is a tough dilemma for you as a parent to see your child so sick and the medication is not working but CBD should work and it does have a low side effect potential and is known for stopping inflammatory disease so I would encourage you to be persistent, as you are, in looking for the solution.\n\ndrolson","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7271-markdown","title":"Edibles and tincture nausea...","slug":"edibles-and-tincture-nausea","content":"\"I have used edibles before and have had pleasurable experiances with 10mg.

You might also want to try a different consumption method - like vaping - just to rule out any reaction to THC in general.\n\nLarry\n_____________________\nCan you tell us anything else about the nausea?  Are there any other associated symptoms?  How has your sleep been recently? Have you been a longterm cannabis user? How often are you using the cannabis products?  Are symptoms relieved w/ hot showers?  Is there a cyclical nature to the nausea and is there vomiting involved? What's the cannabinoid breakdown in the tinctures that you have been using?

Can you recommend cannabis products that could help? ","slug":"i-suffer-from-psoriasis-can-you-recommend-cannabis-products-that-could-help","content":"\"I've suffered from psoriasis for several years (I'm a 28 year old woman). It's on my legs and stomach and it's really uncomfortable and looks terrible. I've tried different ointments from my dermatologist but nothing seems to help that much.\"\n_____________________\nThis is from an earlier answer to a question regarding psoriasis:  I recommend using a topical cannabis salve. Apply in thin layers to the affected area as often as needed. THC is not absorbed through intact skin so using it will not cause psychoactivity. Cannabis salve is an excellent remedy for psoriatic plaques and well as for the inflammation and joint pain caused by psoriatic arthritis. THC has  20 the anti-inflammatory activity of aspirin and twice that of hydrocortisone (Russo). In a 1981 study published in the Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, cannabichromene (CBC), another major cannabinoid, was found to have greater anti-inflammatory activity than phenylbutazone (aka \"bute\"). To further enhance anti-inflammation and modulation of the autoimmune system, consider using a 1:1 or 1:2 THC:CBD tincture sublingually two to three times daily.  Start with 1-2 drops and increase the dose by 1-2 drops every 2-3 days until you see results - decreased pain, decreased swelling, and resolution of plaques.  \n\ndrfrye","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10666-markdown","title":"Increased hunger pains or stomach cramps... the \"munchies\" when ingesting cannabis","slug":"increased-hunger-pains-or-stomach-cramps-the-munchies-when-ingesting-cannabis","content":"\"I have been ingesting cannabis oil or edibles. When I use cannabis, i get hungry a lot more rapidly than I do when I am not using it. I get pretty intense hunger pains or cramps... is there a way to decrease this symptom other than eating more food than usual?\"\n_____________________\nThe \"munchies\" are a common side effect of cannabis use and are attributed to THC's action on cannabinoid receptors. Just like most side effects, the appetite stimulation due to cannabis may decrease over time with regular use. Some patients also find that sipping water, as opposed to eating, may help stave off appetite. \n\nOn the same token, strains lower in THC may have less of an effect on appetite, and strains high in THCV (South and East Africa) may actually suppress appetite by counteracting THC!\n\ndredmunds","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10597-markdown","title":"I am looking for a way to address my pain without taking pain meds that irritate my stomach.","slug":"i-am-looking-for-a-way-to-address-my-pain-without-taking-pain-meds-that-irritate-my-stomach","content":"\"I’m 72 years old, physically active, fit for my age and am generally in good health however I suffer from neuropathy in my feet which can be quite painful at times.

I am very interested in trying Cannabis as a way to improve my quality of life and stop using over the counter pain and anti-inflamitories that irritate my stomach. Please advise as to which Cannabis product my help my situation. \"\n_____________________\nCannabis preparations that are higher in CBD are generally better tolerated in your age group. CBD (Cannabidiol) is a potent anti-inflammatory, anti-spasmodic and pain reliever. THC has anti-inflammatory and pain relieving benefit as well. Focus on the ratio of CBD to THC in the product. \nThe higher the CBD ratio to THC, the less likely you will have unwanted psychogenic stimulation, but still benefit from the other medicinal actions of the cannabinoids. \n\nI recommend you find well labeled products that have at least a 1:1 CBD to THC ratio.\nIf you feel that you are still sensitive to the effects of the THC, move up to a 2:1 ratio, or 4:1.\n\nI encourage you to keep a journal of self treatment so you can determine the dose, ratio and frequency that provides you the most benefit without undesirable side effects.\n\nCBD has been shone to relieve pain and symptoms of peripheral neuropathy and has been shone to be protective against chemotherapy induced neuropathy if used during cancer treatment.\n\nTopical products may be helpful for your hands and feet as well.\n\nAn additional benefit of CBD and cannabis products is that they are generally beneficial to gastrointestinal issues. In general they do not cause the stomach distress that is seen with pharmaceutical anti-inflammatories. They do not increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding either. \n\n\n\n\n\ndrgerhart","image":null}}]}},"pageContext":{"limit":12,"skip":0,"numPages":1,"currentPage":1,"id":5780,"name":"Stomach","slug":"stomach","country":"US"}},"staticQueryHashes":["3949754563","4179947113","4202924991"]}
