Preventing Upset Stomach After Session

[jayson]

Hey all,

Just curious if anyone has any recommendations for preventing an upset stomach post-smoking session. It seems that the more potent the tobacco, the more sick I get. If I get really hazed or buzzed, I notice that I get a bad stomach afterwords. On less intense shishas like al-Waha, this doesn't happen.

Anyone know why it happens or have tipes to prevent it?

Thanks!

drinking milk helps for me, it settles your stomach. tea works too sometimes.

Try eating ginger, or some type of ginger candies. This does not include fake gingers like ginger ale, ect. Ginger is the only known cure for sea sickness and it helps my girl a lot during 'that time'.

eat before you smoke, something sugary.

dramamine half-way through your session

Start smoking ciggs Iam just kidding, never get that feeling. I guess its the only good thing about smoking a pack and half a day

I rarely get this problem, but usually drinking some of that cucumber/lime drink (thats somewhere in the forums) seems to help

I usually only get sick if I don't eat/drink much prior to smoking, or if I am using bad coals. To get around that I eat before I smoke, drink while I smoke, and avoid using quicklight coals.

EAT!!!

make sure you drink before and preferably during your session as well!

pepto bismol?

Drinking beer while smoking hookah usually helps me. Beer preference depends on the shisha flavor

EDIT: Casual beer drinking. I can't imagine drinking a 12-pack first would help. Edited January 26, 2008 by justoffthecoast

doesn't help, but it is fun...

I used to have the same problem. But after a while I would start eating Mozzarella sticks or Doritos and drinking some juice or tea or something. After a while of that you should build up a tolerance.

i would say just drink water while your smoking hookah thats what i try and do or drink some kind of juice......and i just chew gum after i smoke and my stomach problem goes right away idk why but it does

[zeppyrkr]

i actually eat healthy things like fruits and yogurts with similar flavors to the shisha, always helps me.

1. Eat before the session.
2. Drink 1-4 glasses of water during your session. The cucumber-lime/lemon drink I posted about works quite well for me. Cleanses the palate too

PS: I love the new emots

I'd eat something while before you smoke. Something that fills you up a bit. Maybe suck on a few hard candies to get the blood sugar up. Drinking water isn't a bad idea either. Hookah really dries me out.

[SafeSearchOff]

like everyone says: EAT prior to smoking.



also, i never smoke without having a drink. usually water or juice. staying hydrated is KEY

i sometimes drink up to 1.5 litres of water whilst smoking hookah alone xD after a while you'll build up a tolerance, thats why im able to take so much nakhla when im out and my friends are all like "woaaaah im dizzy....matt how can you take so much and not be dizzy?" and i reply "i am shisha king" in an arab accent

Peppermints are a natural stomach aid, that is why they give them to you after meals, try putting one in your cheek 30 mins in to you session or as soon as you get a buzz and just smoke with it there

I second the ginger suggestion. Every time I am ill in the tummy a couple ginger pills makes everything yummy! (OMG, I cant believe I just made that rhyme)
