To verify there's no blockage or nothing physical causing the issues.

This is so nerve racking to get checked too, they made me go in a bowl and I had to scoop it into a cup

Wanted to know the correlation you were going to make here out of pure interest

There are mixed studies as it relates to cannabis and its effect on stomach issues. It seems that if used occasionally it can relieve them but long term constant use actually makes them worse.

Cannabis use linked to increased GI inflammation, abnormal studies

WASHINGTON — Despite generally accepted ideas that cannabis may be used to reduce inflammation or treat gastrointestinal symptoms, a study presented at Digestive Disease Week 2018 linked regular cannabis use to increased inflammation, abdominal pain and abnormal manometry and endoscopic...

Sooklal reported that the most frequent symptoms reported by the cannabis group were abdominal pain (25% vs. 8% in the control group), heartburn (15% vs. 9% in the controls) and nausea and vomiting (7% vs. 1% of controls). All of these were statistically different from the control group (P < .0001).

“Abdominal pain was the most common complaint – not nausea and vomiting as we would have expected,” she said.

Endoscopy findings showed patients using cannabis were more likely to be diagnosed with esophagitis (8% vs. 3% of controls; P < .001), non-erosive gastritis (30% vs. 15% of controls; P < .001) and erosive gastritis (14% vs. 3% of controls; P < .001).

“Increased inflammation in cannabis users – esophagitis as well as erosive and non-erosive gastritis – goes against current knowledge where small studies have shown decreased inflammation with cannabis use,” Sooklal said.

Back when I was doing routinely, it definitely fukked up my stomach and even after I stopped, I farted like crazy and just got these cramps for a while until I guess I reach a point of "normalcy". Weed is good in some ways but it's not the miracle cure all like some people claim, especially if you're an almost daily heavy user.

At least 3 according to my gastroenterologist

Not the ones where your straining and only a little comes out or the ones that are liquidy. The solid ones. I been backed up, had my stomach hurting daily also caused me other health issues. My doc prescribed me fiber I take daily and Omeprazole for stomach acids/ pain.

Not unless your issue is something internal like an ulcer then it's another issue

I do feel like I need a cleansing of some sort..not that one where they use a suction device to pump out your bowels, but a better diet and exercise.
