Okay, I am starting to get concerned... Need the experts on this one...

[kalojado]

Okay, I know I am all over the place with my posts, but after vaping all day with VG again for the first full day in about a week, I am starting to have concerns again. Yes, I do like the VG better when vaping. It just seems less harsh on my throat. But I seem to be having other issues now and I wanted to bring it up for others to know and they can tell me if I am worrying for nothing or if I should be concerned. I guess I am just looking for some advice and some peace of mind...

SO I went back to VG (Wiltons Glycerine) today and I seem to be having some issues. Not sure if it is connected, but I have had diarerra all day long. Then tonight, the last time I went to the restroom I noticed there was some clear discharge in the toilet. Kinda like the Glycerine is coming out the other end, to say it as politely as I can. When I wipe, its like vasaline on the toilet paper. But I can clearly see the clear discharge in the toilet, like I did the other day when I had first went to Glycerine, but stopped for a few days because I was worried and the issues had seemed to stop as well, until I vaped it again today.

Now, I never once had this happen with the PG, but often times PG would make my throat burn and I hated that feeling. I could also not get much taste out of the PG, which is why I first went to VG. But one of the big things that concerns me is that I am not drinking this glycerine, I am vaping it, and somehow it seems to be "resolidifying" (the best way I can explain it) in my body and I am passing it in my stool.

Now, is there a reason to be worried here? I am going thru a lot of emotions right now and wondering if I should continue to vape (at the moment, i am not). I don't want an analog, and my doctor has told me to quit, so I could really use some help here guys and gals. I know you all are really smart and someout out there has some advice for me...

Oy, that's not what I wanted to hear... Thought I would at least get a few comforting responses... Guess I will be up worrying about this all night...

 

[wv2win]

I would see a doctor. But also, how could something vaporized, inhaled into your lungs get to your intestine??? That makes no sense to me.

cigarette toxins coming out of you? You'll be fine, if not try to get on the forum from the hospital....Interal video- a few of those camears in a tube would be cool.....one up you and one down...and make sure to mention Altsmoke.com in the video......lol....couldn't resist...

you'll be fine. I had a little similar diareha but now I'm fine again- vape 24mg pg all day long

Well, I dont think it's cigarette toxins, I havent smoked in like 37 days or whatever...

i've primarily used glycerin in my fluid from day one, and i've never had a similar experience to this. the gurgly stomach seems to happen to a few though. i have a pretty bad stomach myself, but i don't find that i get any worse heartburn or stomach probs from vaping.

I have read that vg can cause stomache issues, but we cannot diagnose anything here. I'd say it's possible and the throat issues with pg will go away if you try that route. here is a link with some info http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...3305-list-common-symptoms-when-e-smoking.html

I´m sorry but I have to ask! Have you been taking some pills for loosing weight? The ones who have Orlistat in them? If you don´t, and before you go to see a doctor, please write down all you can remember you did eat/take/drink 2 o 3 days earlier. Many times what you left in the toilet today was eaten DAYS AGO.
And for tonight, don´t worry, and most importantly: Don´t panic, it does not any good for you, right now if you are reading this, please leave your computer, have a nice cup of water and go to bed and try to sleep, but first thing in the morning, go to see the doctor.
I hope you will do well, and keep us informed!

I imagine there is a small amount of VG that is adhering to your oral cavity and throat, this would then be swallowed.
If you vape enough it would be like taking a spoon of vegetable oil, that would definately lube up ole' #2 8-o.
I would still go to the doc for piece of mind but that is a possibility.

I can say that in 19 months of reading this forum, and concentrating on the Health section, I've never read of what you describe. That would lead to a conclusion that your problem is not inhaled glycerin somehow reconstituting itself as a gel in your intestines. Your problem is unique. You need a professional diagnosis.

Get thee to a doctor.

 

[kalojado]

Hey all, just wanted to give you an update. I am not going to the doctor... just yet. As I originally said, I did this last week and stopped the VG and it stopped. I wanted to try it again to see if it would keep happening. Someone asked if I am on any diet pills, and no I am not. I am going to give it another day or so, as I have to work today. If I do not get better by Wednesday, or if it gets to be really bad, I will go and update you all. I am stopping using the VG and I am already doing better. I kinda think the stomach ache I am having is from the nicotine withdraw. The juice I was using had little or no nic in it and I kinda feel like when I first tried to quit smoking without the PV.

But thank you all for the help. I will definitely let you know what happens...

glycerine is one of the ingredients in laxatives. I just googled it. Google laxative and glycerine.

 

[karenrcg]

Glycerine is normally used in suppositories, they help to pull the water from the intestines into the stool. This stimulates the normal forward movement of intestines which makes you go to the loo. I wouldn't have thought you ingested enough glycerine from an e-cig to cause any problems, unless of course you could be allergic to glycerine or any other ingrediants.

 

[Ryle]

I believe I read somewhere once that nicotine itself is a natural laxative (as is something in coffee but I can't remember what) so the nicotine could be what's giving you the runs.. as for the gel.. that's a bit weird but I highly doubt it's related to your PV.. maybe related to the runs though

Karen, this sounds exactly like what was happening. I would not have thought I could have gotten that much either, I only use a 401 and I do not chain vape. But I was mixing up my own flavors and was trying them. i was most likely using too much glycerine. Either way, I am not going to se it anymore. Too scary for me... I will stick with the burning throat I get from PG...

suppositories! 8-o

There's just no way vaping glycerin can cause these symptoms. You would have to be swallowing 2 pints at a time for it to course through your system in that form. There is some other issue.
