    Sorry to hear you were sick. I have gotten sick on an empty stomac. I had an operation and was really ill from the medication they gave me.


    NOT FUN.
    .I just want to feel safe in my own skin. I just want to be happy again. I just want to feel deep in my own world. But I’m so lonely I don’t even want to be with myself. <3

    i have never Vomited on an empty stomach. the only time i can ever remember getting sick ( ive gotten sick maybe 3 times in my whole 22 years of life) was when i was about 8 years old and my mom made me take something to lower my fever ( I had influenza) and I threw it up.


    So no, I've never vomited with nothing in my stomach.

    to be honest, if that had happened to me, i dont know what i would do. even thinkin about being sick sumwer other than my house, i want to cry!!! being sick in my house is terrifying enough! for me the worst bit about bein sick is gagging, an if that had happened to me i dont know what i would do, it would be confirming my ultimate fear if that happened. i dont know...you are very brave.

    Well, I never have on an empty stomach. I get this "safety thing" that I feel like if Im hungry Im safe. I know that sounds nuts, but Ive felt like that ever since I was little. Like if I felt sick or nauseas from being hungry on an empty stomach, then it was okay, because I knew what it was from, like a safe nausea if that makes any sense. I guess it feels "safe" because I assume that if nothing is in my stomach then nothing can come out.


    Yikes Im sorry you went through that Hanarky!! That must have been traumatic. Man, well you made it though, and you know it was only due to the weed smell, not from a virus or anything like that.

    I have that safe feeling too, where if I feel hungry, I know I'm okay. So you're not alone.


    Although I don't smoke it, I actually love the smell of weed, lol. I look forward to when my pot-head sister and her husband come over, because they always light up a bowl. Sorry, that probably doesn't help. I'm very sorry you had to go through that. My husband v* once on an empty stomach when he ran as fast as he could up a flight of stairs, so he wouldn't miss a plane. I guess he overdid it or something, so it IS possible. I dry heaved once on an empty stomach, but nothing ever came up.

    Whether or not you v* on an empty stomach is really down to what's caused it - if you have a virus, you could do it on an empty stomach (I did as a child with a nasty virus, my partner did with an inner-ear infection), a reaction to drugs (over the counter, prescription or illegal!) can make you do it, as can motion sickness. If it's any consellation, Hanarky. weed is well known to make a lot of people sick - you are not alone there, by any means.


    Best wishes, Jill xxx

    I've never been sick on an empty stomach. I always think that if your stomach is empty you can't be sick - obviously not the case. Edited by: Scattycat

    When I was 10 or 11, I fell off my bike on the way to school and hit my head..It didnt even hurt but I guess it was enough for a concussion. Long story short, I ended up throwing up twice that morning after I went home, and after I had been to the doctor. It was on an empty stomach. Of course, it didn't bother me a bit because I was 11 and wasn't such a sissy back then...I was eating pizza 5 hours later and having a great day off school.


    I think it would be more rare to do that though...You'd have to get a concussion, or motion sickness, or smell something really bad...if its a virus I think it's rare that you would throw up if there's nothing in there, what would be the point?


    But I think it's much harder to throw up with nothing in there. You might gag a lot, but to really bring a bunch of stuff up, it's much harder if you're empty. In a way it might be easier if you HAD to throw up, if there was stuff in the stomach, then you just bring it up, and its gone, rather than gagging so much.
    what a horrible night to have a curse.

    it is so much worse on an empty stomach cos just acid comes up (well bile actually!) and it burns so badly!
    i remember when i was at a really bad stage last year when i had panic attacs every day i didnt eat for a week cos i was scared that i would be sick when i heaved in a bad attack and when i did heave i wished i had something to come out cos it hurt so much! sorry for the gory details! now i panic more if i feel sick and havent eaten! xx

    I'm confused....someone (Jill maybe?) said that pot often makes people sick...I thought they gave it to people who are going through chemo to help the nausea? Am I crazy?

    Harmonygirl- I also heard weed is given to cancer patients but I didn't know it was for nausea. Very interesting.

    Pot does get rid of nausea..


    Maybe it was just the smell? Sometimes a bad smell can make you gag.

    It's weird because some people feel great after smoking pot, and it does have medicinal purposes for relieving nausea in cancer patients. But other people react negatively from it and get sick. I guess it depends on the person. Just like with anesthesia, some people throw up for days after the surgery, while others (like most emets) don't even feel a twinge of nausea. Weird, isn't it?

    Well ive never v* on an empty stomach... but i can imagine its probably worse, but your stomach is never really 'empty' even if u didnt eat for a week you would still have bile and gastric juices in there as always. But thats very acidic and is bound to hurt if it came up. Well done for gettin through it!!
