why am i gassy

[vnlsin]

I've taken E about 10 times in the past 2 years, with no problems, but the
last 3 times I've done it i've developed a problem with flatulence (farting)
while on it, This is rather embarrassing and I'm not sure what the problem
is. The problem goes away when I'm coming down. Could this be
something in the drug, or maybe my muscles contracting? I'm not aware of
anyone else having this problem at all and it's making me think there might
be something wrong.

I've never heard of a problem like this before. SWIM never had this problem with many a weekend session on many different types. Were these last 3 times on the same type of pill? Maybe they used something in the pill preparation that's creating gas? Like baking soda or something?


And you're sure you haven't changed your food intake (type or amount)? That's the usual place I'd look for this kind of problem, but it is odd that you say it goes away when coming down. Maybe it is related to the way you control you muscles on E. The most usual problem I've heard of related to muscles was grinding of the teeth and stiff jaws.

it is probaly something you ate, it is mixing with the ecstasy, but
your body doesnt like it, so it is trying to release it! did u go for a
shit while you where buzzing?

[xpr´k]

i know alot of people who have to take a dump after they dropped and there's the 'i cant pee' syndrome.


From what ive read XTC diminishes your ability to use your muscles , maybe this is related ) . But as said above the actuall gas is probably the result of your diet.

I know a guy who has this problem as well. Once it got so bad that he shat his pants in someone else's bed. The farting is probably down to your sphincter muscle getting too relaxed or something. When rolling hard, bad smells omit from any orifice on your body whether it be sweat, snot, fart etc.

I wouldn't worry about it too much, just enjoy the gas!

I get gassy as well, but I don't fart, I just burp randomly now and
then. I don't even know when it's coming so it's a bit annoying when
I'm talking to a girl. Although it doesn't happen that often, so it's
not too bad.

Swim often experiences a similar problem - usually at the end of the night he can feel trapped wind moving around his colon but frustratingly can't expel it for ages. Swim normally farts loads in bed afterwards which he finds extremely satisfying (and smelly!)

[nanobrain]

y'all eat too much, and i'm betting dollars to donuts your colon is stuffed w/undigested rotting organics.

try an enema before your next dose, but from the looks of it y'all like to smell your farts...

Hmmm...perhaps that's the case.

SWIM doesn't eat for most of the day before taking MDMA, so she's not convinced with the unsuitable foods theories. She does however have a tendency to obsessive behaviours on pills (endless gum chewing, sipping of water etc) Could it be possible that excess gas is simply from swallowing too much air? We know that MDMA acts on smooth muscles (hence the urinary retention) so slower gastric emptying could lead to unfortunate burping. Similar smooth muscle stasis in the lower GI tract could lead to build up of noxious gases to escape from the other end.

Or you could try the OTC remedies for such: Bean-O and Gas-X seem to be the big 2 here in the Untied Snakes. Or just be resigned to being a part-time Fartin' Martin.

And PLEASE don't start a thread about the dangers of XTC/Gas-X combinations! Please??

[nanobrain]

does gas-x produce nitrosamines in combination with salami and MDMA though? i'm sure concerned people want to know ;-)

This is a loooong shot, but maybe your latest pills are pressed with dried beer yiest? It's a common ingredient in vitamin pills. Beer yiest is a very good source of B-vitamins btw.
