Maybe on top of fasting try eating light/ healthy fresh foods for a day or two prior and see if that helps.

I was asking the same questions as you OP and I ended up getting a coffee grinder and powdering the mushrooms and have tried it all, my body just rejects them no matter what it seems though I'm to the point where I plan to purge at some point and fighting it will ruin the experience so I just yack that shit out and keep tripping LOL.

I'm at the same point now.
I think I'll just have to accept that my body won't accept it.

Bro, in telling you Psilly, try grinding up 3.5g's of dried mushrooms and mixing it into a tap glass of OJ. I bet it will work for you. I decided not to trip yesterday so I'll doing the OJ here in about 3-4hrs. Can't wait to get off work and start this hiatus.

I'm relatively new at all this, but here's what I've learned so far.
All mushrooms have some amount of chitin. Chitin is very difficult (if not impossible) for humans to properly digest. Search on the internet, and you'll see that chitin can cause stomach issues for a lot of people because it's so hard to digest. I know that the 4 times I ate mushrooms straight up, I got a bad stomach ache. The last go round I tried to soak ground up dry shrooms in cranberry juice - projectile vomit. ewwww. It didn't make a difference if it was fresh, dried, chopped or ground. I got a belly ache.
Now, chitin can be broken down simply by cooking. I know some people say that heat kills the actives, but I don't believe that to be true. Last weekend I put 1.2 chopped grams in a potato soup and boiled for about 10 minutes. My trip level was about what I expected, and I got very little stomach issues. I felt nauseated for like 10 seconds, then it was over. It actually tasted good!!

This is why making a tea seems to work well for others (I haven't tried it yet). I think the trick is to cook the shrooms for quite a few minutes in the water and let that chitin break down. Adding some lemon ought to help. I haven't tried the lemon and tea thing yet, but it's next on my list. Biggest point here is that the heat won't reduce your trip. I'm certain you can boil for a while and not see any loss of effect.
I really hope someone comments on this next part.
Another thought: I know that when I start out tripping, I get very heightened senses - I see clearly, I hear things I haven't notice before, I feel and taste things better. I remember tripping and later eating a little piece of ham. I could literally feel the acid injecting into my stomach!! I think that sometimes I feel like I have a stomach ache when in fact it's just my stomach doing it's normal thing. It's just that you don't notice when you aren't tripping. I think it's the same reason some people feel like they have to go to the bathroom. They always have that feeling, but while tripping, they're more aware of it.
Does this make sense?
