DMT and Stomach Effects

[gratefulfloyd]

So the last few times I have dabbled in the spice I feel like my stomach ties up in knots and then I have to go take an epic poop. Seriously there is nothing worse then getting ready to blast off and about to take that last hit and then you have to run to the bathroom tripping hard, and you end up sitting on the toilet taking the most intense deuce of your life while having a sub-breakthrough experience.... Anyone else get these feelings? I think I may just need to fast for some sort of time before using the spice.

Hahahahhahaha. Thats funny. But yes SWIM always tries to make sure all bodily functions are calm before partaking. In other words shit first trip later.

and they say dmt has no medical uses... what about a laxative?

That makes perfect sense though. Most serotonin in the body regulates how quickly your gut passes food matter. A mole that mimics serotonin would presumably speed up digestion quite a bit. I'm no doctor, but I think when your digestion is overloaded and the serotonin keeps on coming you get a gag reflex, which explains the nausea many people get from compounds with serotonin activity.

Happens regularly after a good cup of tea, even after a day or two of fasting.

Gagging and retching after inhalation also happens often.

Im sure some Nexians suffer from irritable bowel syndrome which can either cause constipation or precipitous bowel evacuation, plus all the other symptoms.Serotonin is felt to play a major part in producing many gastrointestinal manifestations of this ailment, so its not a surprise that 'playing' with your gut 5HT receptors can cause an urgent desire to open the bowels.Heres a great article, albeit slightly dated, which covers gut effects/5HT very nicely:

Role of serotonin in the pathophysiology of the irritable bowel syndrome

The irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a complex disorder that is associated with altered gastrointestinal motility, secretion, and sensation. Serotonin (5-HT) is an important neurotransmitter and paracrine signalling molecule in the gastrointestinal tract. ...

coffee is my laxative, and my GF just has to smell pot and she's off making smells of her own... Never had the urge on spice though... Call it your own private spice route!!:d

Do you think that it may be because I sometimes get nervous before going on a voyage? Also I notice it more when I've been eating shitty food like dominos pizza within the day I do it. It honestly feels like when I smoke a cig during the day after a coffee, I just gotta go doodoo.

What I wanted to say

 

[Felnik]

I always try to keep the crappy food to a minimum at least a day before a journey. Especially the day of, i avoid coffee and as much junky crap as possible. sometimes its hard to do but the payoff is worth all the trouble. thats the first level of commitment for me.

Yeah, I try to do so as well, but sometimes you cant say no to free pizza (even though you should), I'll just keep it in mind to eat light on days when I voyage.
