help! gas...constipated...gas

Igetcha is more the expert here maybe? We will have to all send him a message soon if someone else already did without a reply! Fresh fruit and vegetables do not always work either...

A daily enema isn't all that convenient to make up for a few hours of vaping and totally not smoking analogs! ;-\

Women, I'd expect to have this problem more than men - only because we are supposed to be sensitive... Men, should be able to adjust quicker?!

Does anyone have any suggestions other than 3x the normal amount of water one would drink? Spicy food, salad, and beans do not make much of a difference for me. My usual diet can't be more extreme - hot peppers, tons of fruit, curry too?

I've lit a few matches to smell sulphur and candles to blow out and smell the wick, but it still doesn't do it. Could start drinking hot coffee in the morning now that it is getting colder out? If Red Bull and Iced Coffee, etc. do not do the trick either, I'm not sure just coffee being hot will either.

Ideally, sex at night, again in the morning, a cigarette, then hot coffee, breakfast and orange juice should be all anyone needs... How do you improvise with half of those pleasures, excluding the analog cig?

Staying up late (nicotine does that too), playing with matches trying to figure it out. So glad I'm anonymous on here to everyone who does not know me personally! lol

I will say only thing that you are getting addicted. And addiction to anything is dangerous.

I agree as far as addiction goes, and wish I could edit that post to be not so graphic. TMI from lack of sleep and other things.

Cold turkey has been in the past, the best way for me to quit smoking. But, in convincing others to quit, the ecigs are good for those who still want "simulated smoke".

My posts were honest to my own experience and I still do not fully understand why I and many others have dry skin, breakouts, and constipation from vaping on ecigs, no analogs, and a healthy diet.

I guess, with any side effect, to cut back and do everything in moderation makes sense.

Everyone is different. And, what works for some, may not for others.

I thought i was alone. Search engines do wonders

I've been recently experiencing weird problems with constipation. My schedules are regular, but putting out literally painful bricks. The only real change I've recently introduced to my body for the past few months, is of course vaping.

I vape heavily at around 5-6 hours total time a day. I occasionally still smoke, but have pulled it down to barely 1 stick every 4 days against 15 a day, before i started vaping.

I did my research about both PG and nicotine. In a nutshell, what i've read so far is that PG may cause dehydration and lead to constipation, but i think there is a lot more literature pointing out that the lack of nicotine DOES have constipation as one of its side-effects for smokers who quit.

Prune Juice for me!

Yup, I enjoyed the same thing. It is also known as a 'lazy colon' because it is used to the excitement the nicotine and other chemicals in ciggies add to the body. Without it, the colon has to restrengthen itself.

I recommend raising your nicotine levels to 24mg if you haven't already. That is what did the trick for me. At first I thought it was too much and kept reducing it, but it only made it worse until I learned about the lazy colon.

thanks for that info, i feel not too alone anymore now, however i should tell you that i do vape 18mg-24mg on a regular basis. I dont think im getting that much nicotine (Using LR attys in an Ego XL setup by the way)

although now i have bigger problems as i believe i have anal fissure already, blood in my fart, and in my stool as well. since its really red and fresh, according to my research its most likely constipation related. going to the doctors tomorrow

[Quikijiki]

just an update, its confirmed that i have anal fissure

now taking colon cleansers and Senokot. I feel better now and i feel that the cut is healing. Man, iwould never had expected that it would reach to this magnitude, as i would not have even known that im already in a nicotine withdrawal state. none of the other symptoms raised up on this thread occured to me.

i dont feel cravings for analogs ever since i switched to vaping, and im only 3 months into it well i guess constipation is the only manifestation for me

Looks like a lot of people have similar problems.
Imagine how many wouldn't feel comfortable to leave a reply in this thread.


5.5 months into vaping, 3.5 months smoke free.
About 1 month after going smoke free noticed unusually often "gases", usually after each meal, especially if I'm sitting.
Fortunately no constipation.

I hope it goes to analog withdrawal, not to vaping.
