E-Cigs causing excessive flatulence and explosive diahrea?

[supermarket]

I was wondering if anyone else has had the same serious medical issues? While I am not sure if it is directly attributed to e-cigs, I believe it is, as the problem never existed before.

Basically, whenever I vape, I get really, REALLY bad flatulence. Sometimes it is so bad, that I have to run to the bathroom, and sit on a toilet because I can't be anywhere else.

The worst part is that sometimes the flatuence is so bad, that I actually get some leakage Talk about embarrassing!!

Not only does it ONLY happen when I'm vaping.....but the gas actually takes on the smell of WHATEVER I happen to be vaping. For instance, if I'm vaping blueberry muffin, that I'll get blueberry muffin farts. If I'm vaping Boba's Bounty.....I'll get the graham cracker farts. If I'm vaping root beer, well then you better believe I'm farting root beer flavored farts! You can even smell the carbonation with that one!


Anyway, I haven't seen a doctor yet, but I was hoping maybe some of you here can give me advice. I was NEVER a serious farter before vaping, and well now....let's just say even my dog doesn't enjoy my company anymore. Well, unless I vape something that smells like edibles.....then I can't get him away from my fanny!

PLEASE, how do I stop the GAS?

Never heard this one... I doesnt make any sense because how can something you inhale cause this. How does the smell get from your lungs to, well, there. I honestly dont see how this could happen. Are you swallowing the vaper?

Sorry if this is TMI but if there's blood in there, then SEE A DOCTOR.

Also, it could be the sweetener (if any) used in your juice (any artificial sweetener that ends in "ol" can cause moderate gastric distress), also Vegetable Glycerine can have that effect. If I remember right, when I first started vaping I experienced that, but it eventually calmed down.

Edited: wait....supermarket! Are you pulling our chain??? Vaping since 2010 and now you're having issues?

Seriously, have you started a new diet or changed your eating habits? Are you taking any new supplements or anything?

I didn't realize it was you posting...(I tend to miss things). Really? Root beer?

Try bacon flavoured liquid and your dog will love you again!

Actually, that is just the WORST of my e-cig related symptoms. I also have been noticing I don't have the same 'stamina' I used to, my hairline is receeding, my ankles crack when I wake up in the morning, my job is more boring than usual, my bills are more upsetting, my debt is higher, and the hair on my toes is getting longer. While I can't say these are all directly attributed to vaping beyond ANY reasonable doubt....I am quite sure vaping is the cause of all of it. I'm just not sure where to go from here Hopefully someone has the answers.

OK, I get it now...(like I said, I miss stuff).

For sure, you need to quit, and NOW, before it's too late.

Alright, so I finally was able to reach my GP (doctor) by phone. He said the best advice he could give me, is to pick the best smelling e-liquid!

If you guys were in my shoes, what e-liquid would you pick? I'm looking for something that won't get me fired if it ends up filling up the entire office each day.


I'm thinking maybe I should stick to Peach Green tea. It has a good flavor, but it is subtle enough to where if I'm farting all day in an enclosed space, it shouldn't be TOO offensive.

 

[alisa1970]

Rosewater.

And yes, sorry, this thread is really just me having some fun, and making a parody out of all those threads you see on here with people asking us to diagnose/fix their medical issues that they think *might* be related to e-cigs in someway

Of course I'm not saying all of those threads are pointless, because many of them aren't. When I first started vaping, I did get vaper's tongue....and it was definitely uncomfortable. I know that people new to vaping are going to have 100 questions, that is normal. For more serious stuff though, people should really be talking to a doctor, you know?

Anyway, just my lame attempt at a parody thread....at least I think it is funny


[Edit: I actually had an even funnier idea (to me anyway) for this thread, but I checked the ECForum guidelines, and I think I would have been crossing the line a bit, so I had to tone it down ]

I'd get some fresh baked cookies liquid.

Honestly don't know what to say. Your first post sounded like someone in need of medical attention.
Your second post reads like some Psychiatric assistance could be in order.

However, the body does react in mysterious ways when in crisis. You may have a Serious underlying issue that needs immediate attention. I would not hesitate to seek medical services and be sure everything is in order.

Vaping is a matter of inhaling and exhaling to the lungs. Gasses are produced in the stomach/intestinal area. these two are normally NOT interconnected except by the throat.
Having recently gone through sever esophageal damage, I can tell you many strange things happen. At one point I thought my heart was failing. At another, doctors thought my Gaul bladder had become blocked and needed removal.
The Surgeon actually decided Exploratory was the way to go and found/fixed the issue. Took 2 surgeries.

GO TO A DOCTOR!

Well I don't think it's caused me to be any more or less gassier. Have you tried some Beano or similar product Beano® for Bloating and Gas - Help for Gas - Official Site

It's not a 100% but seems to help. Have no idea if it works for vaping related gas and I only use it when I have Mexican, liver and onions, prime rib or something I know is going to cause some stinky gas I think it's more a requirement of the wifey than mine

 

[WattWick]

Sure you're... uhm how to put it... sticking the vaporizer in the right ... place?

 

[SmellYaLaterCigs]

Never happened to me, see a doctor OP

It's funny but yeah, there are so many threads that start like that...

On the other hand, I did end up with a fairly serious condition that ended up causing me to quit vaping twice for a while and go back to smoking...until I was diagnosed and medicated, and now I'm back into it for a week now. In my case, smoking actually helped my condition. Now I can focus on getting well and not smoking anymore.

So while it's funny and some people have over-active imaginations related to vaping issues, let's not forget than in a few, relatively rare situations, these complaints can really be real--though not directly CAUSED by vaping. And if issues persist, a visit to the doctor is needed.

Try vaping through the top end as opposed to the bottom end, the end where you put the food in and not where the food comes out - I got confused at first as well, but later realised that the phallic design of my e-cig was merely a coincidence.

 

[Zactaylorswag]

Lol I thought it was pretty hillarious. I was hoping it was real I want blue berry muffin farts.

 

[Mike Sheda]

OK... here is what you need to do... get a funnel, some long tubing, and some duct tape... I think if this is engineered correctly, you can use this to your advantage.

you should be able to google Convert your engine to natural gas, and get the plans. Duct tape the funnel where appropriate and then the tubing to the funnel.

Vape all you want, and never have to pay for fuel for your car again!

You might need to experiment a little, like, does the engine run smoother on Boba or Pluid, do you get better mileage out of Strawberry or Cantelope.

I think ECB needs to come up with a baked beans vape for you so that you can run a supercharger!

You are inhaling way too deeply. Let up a little.
