preventing nausea

i've searched around this site and can't come up with anything really specific - are there any tried and true methods for preventing nausea when taking mushrooms? the last few trips i've had all start great, but my stomache will start hurting and ill have to throw up, and that usually messes with my trip and sends me into hell.
i usually try to get something in my stomach, not a full meal, but a decent sized snack 1-2 hours before taking the shrooms. should i just eat on an empty stomach or will that be worse?
i've got 1.6 dried grams left over from last weekend that im probly taking this weekend, and if i get sick again i might just say good bye to trippin for good. acid and mdma arent my thing, i really enjoy shrooms when my stomach can take it, but its just not worth it if i keep getting this sick everytime. ive seen some people throw up and just shrug it off, but i cant seem to. anyone have any advice for this weekend? thanks

can try
- making a tea, and dont eat the solid matter - grind it to a powder, if its already broken down that much, I think its easier for your stomach to deal with the actual plant material - take some ginger. This is great for upset stomach in general - chew the mushrooms really well before swallowing, and spread out the time you take to eat them a bit more - weed
and while I have never tried it myself, I've heard people swear by Pepto-Bismol
and, as much as people dont like doing it
- If the mushrooms have already kicked in and your an hour or two into your trip : Drink alot of water, and vomit

Like Kaniz said there are alot of ways. One way that I swear by is fasting. I fast for 12 hours before I trip. I usually like to start my tip in the morning so I don't have to starve all day. But then Right before I eat the shrooms I'll eat half of a sandwich to put something in my stomach. Because if I have nothing in my stomach when I start to come up it makes me feel sort of sickly.
The next best way is to take it with tea. Most people I know swear by this. My girlfriend kept getting nausea and terrible stomach cramps on shrooms. She started dosing with tea and it all went away. Tea also helps with the taste.

Like the two above post suggest, deffinatly try holding out on eating for at least 4 hours before the trip... If I'm know I'm going to trip, I usually keep an empty stomach for at leat 8 hours before hand. Tea will help reduce nausea too. I also like to get some fresh ginger root from the supermarket and chew on little pieces of it while I'm coming up. Chewing on some peppermint gum also sometimes helps take the edge off the nausea. Also try not moving around too much either in the first hour after ingestion.

For me, the best way is to grind the mushrooms really well and encapsulate them on 00 size capsules. No nausea at all. Besides, it is the best way to store mushrooms and avoid the potency loss (at least for a long time, years maybe). Furthermore,the dose is pretty easy to calculate: when you grind mushrooms of the same batch, every capsule is equally potent and the 00 caps can contain half a gram if you stuff the mushroom powder really well. You should take into account that the caps themselves weight about .1 gr, so your capsule must weight .6 gr.

thanks for the advice everyone. ive got 1.6 grams, i think i'll grind them up and try the capsule method. or possibly the tea. tea sounds like the easiest method. i havent ever tried it before. i know ill need to boil the solid mushrooms, should i grind them down pretty well and wrap them in a coffee filter? if i don't eat the solid stuff, will i trip as hard? i can always handle hard trips, the only thing i ever complain about is feeling like a rock is crawling through my intestines...bleh

Well, the point of the tea, is you dont need to eat the solid matter. Making the tea, then eating it - sort of defeats the purpose of the tea.

thats what i figured i just didnt know if some of the psylocybin(sp?) stayed in the shrooms even after boiling it. as far as the coffee filter and grinding them down... waste of time?

i used to have big problems with feeling sick when taking mushrooms, and the feeling usually wouldnt go away for at least na hour, badly influencing my trip. then i realized, hey, ive got tums! take the highest recommended dose of tums spaced out
heres how i do it (i think you are supposed to take 4): 1 tablet 3 minutes before eating the mushrooms, 1 taken with the mushrooms, 1 directly after eating them, and the last one 5-8 minutes after. no worries about ODing on tums either, so if it still doesnt take away all the sick feelings, take some more when you start coming up.
good luck!
