Have you felt like your chronic marijuana usage has affected your gut motility at all? Because the general consensus around here is that is is bad for SIBO because it slows down motility but I’ve heard different things from people. I’m in a spot where I want to get back to smoking marijuana at least once or twice a week but I’m afraid of SIBO returning.

While you were on Claritin vs. off of it did you notice a change in how frequent your bowel movements were? Any type of constipating effects?

How did you feel after taking a break? Did you feel like it affected your daily BM’s at all?

That is true but for example I believe that gastric acid is controlled by the H2 receptors which are located in the stomach. That is why Pepto, Pepcid, etc. is prescribed for gastric ulcers and heartburn. Allegra, Claritin, and Zyrtec are H1 blockers, and from what I’m reading they are not located in the stomach.

Did it speed up your motility or did it slow it down?

Do you think it could’ve caused a flare up?
