Ok that sounds great, but I thought when you did rue you needed to fast so that you don't throw up a bunch of food?

I mean, could you really get away with like a cup of almond milk, half a banana and 5 grams of rue? You would throw it all up right?

I hope I am wrong, because this sounds so easy.

I wonder if anyone has tried this. Seems so simple.

taking rue or caapi mixed in with fruit makes me puke it back up, but not until it has absorbed. If I drink in the morning I eat fruit like 30 minutes prior..just a bit because my stomache is empty and I need something to keep my blood sugar up. Some curranderos will tell you you need energy to deal with drinking yage..so I am not big on the fasting thing..but I am not into drinking with a full stomache either. If I drink at night I just eat light and dont eat for 2-3 hours before.

Some of my most unpleasant ayahuasca experiences have been on a full stomache..

Starchy foods like rice, quinoa, potatoes..and other foods like nuts and seeds are not good before ayahuasca for me. In the amazon they eat rice and fish for dieta though so I mean everyone is way different. For me those foods like bind up inside of me and made me feel bloated and the medicine sits in there and gurgles around and can take hours to fully hit and then last for far too long. It makes it absorb slowly or something and causes much discomfort. I feel best though just not having those foods at all other than some seeds and I have a history involving medical problems with my gut so I dunno if this is saying much. You sort of learn what works for you as you go.

Starchy foods can do that to me, like I said I usually just eat fruit and raw veggies the day of drinking. I rarely drink in the morning, bit when I do I like to eat melons and that sort of thing.

But never full. That's just a good way to waste both a shot of whatever and a meal! And it of course decreases the absorption rate, leadin to those long but mild trips, as well as taking longer to purge without wasting some of the dose. You may have these gut issues, Jaime, But I think many would agree ghat a large bowl of pasta and meat isn't going to feel great and probably isn't so easy to purge! But I have taken jurema while eating a rather poor diet and I didn't get any reactions except in the guts. Now occasionally harmala/jurema gives me very little nausea.

Actually what I usually do is fast (or light light foods) before I dose and then sometime after the peak I eat. Sometimes I eat really fat while tripping... And occasionally it will kick the experience up a notch. Others on the nexus and some whom have had some of my brews notice the same thing.

OP: I havnt yet tried this but in this thread MelodicCatastophe tells me about it and I think he (she?) had done it before. I just messed up a Tao of rue extraction (hopefully I can rescue at least some of the harmalas) and the next time I do an extraction on rue it will be an ethanol extraction. I think the resin yielded will be for oral use mostly, as it would gunk up changa and make it harder and harsher to smoke. But hey, that could be a simple way for you to extract rue and reduce the amount you have to eat for the effects you are looking for!

Ok, I guess I will try some stuff and see what happens. I have always fasted like 6-8 hours before I do the rue. Might not have been the best idea.

Woops! Forgot to link to the thread I was referring to!
