Sour stomach

[simon]

I've been enjoying my original sampler I got this weekend from getsnus, and I noticed a couple things.. Grov orig, I get a lot of juice, and if I swallow a lot of it, I get a sour stomach. Ettan really juices on me, and give a sour stomach, General does too. Others I have tried where white portions, and I did not get as much juice, or a sour stomach. So I wonder if it's just the original portions that juice up more, and maybe the smoke flavor or something is more acidic. Maybe I just need to man up and get used to the stronger tobacco flavors.
Right now I'm really enjoying these brands, but I have to spit when I get a lot of flavor juice going on or my gut says NO..
I really like the original portions, better than white, but, if it could be possible the originals dont agree with me maybe whites are the way to go till I get used to it.
Anybody else? Or am I just a pussy? lol...

man 'o man, i've barfed from juice before. dude, i don't know too much, but i think that the white portions haven't the "spray/water" added on them so they adsorb slower. but don't quote me.

yea whites tend to produce significantly less juice. Also placement may help regulate the juice. Putting a portion further back in the mouth or in the lower lip will produce more saliva and thus more juice. Thus further up and closer to the front of the mouth may help you.

Another thing that may help alleviate the sour stomach is to keep some water close at hand. If you have to swallow a lot of juice, chase it with a good swallow of water.

My experience with regular portions is that I need to spit once or twice and I need a little water with me. Thus in public, I tend to stick to whites.

Hope this helps

Yea, put it as close to the front as you can. I generally use whites, so mine don't juice up to bad. The water is a very good suggestion. My first three months of snusin, I always had to have something to drink with it. Now I can use any without the handicap.

Aside from the nicotine, the juice is the best part. But seriously have some water on hand to sip from time to time, and this will probably pass.

I don't know how new to snus you are, and I am by no means a vet, but I do know when I 1st tried snus, it would juice up alot, and it would make me feel ill. I'd have to go lay down till it passed. And then I ended up quitting snus because of that. It was a few months later I decided to try it again, and that time it worked. Now I love the juice, and now I think I prefer original portions. When I 1st tried snus I was not a regular tobacco user, just a binge smoker to accompany my binge drinking. So, I think my body was not used to nicotine from snus, dip would make me feel ill too. Also, I was placing the portion too far back on the side, and that gave me too much juice. After I quit snus, I got into nasal snuff alot, and after a time with that, my body must have gotten used to nicotine more, because when I came back to snus, the bad effects I had before where not as bad, and then I realize I was putting the portion too much on the side, so I put it more in the front, and the overjuice stopped, and then after a while more I have become used to snus, so now I never feel ill at all, even with starks, and the juice does not affect me either, esp now there is not much.

Never had that happen with Ettan before...hmmm.

[sagedil]

Yes, more time, body just gets used to.

Yes, Whites MUCH better for this. Again, why I switched over to them after a year of using snus.

[chadizzy1]

I prefer whites myself. I wish my favorites came in whites, I'd be a happy man.

[sagedil]

All my favorites come i whites. They don't come in whites, then they can't be my favorite. :wink:

I don't think Thunder Frosted would be the same in white.

I have flip flopped again. Started with all original portions for about 8 months. When to all white for about 8 months. Now I have been on original portions again for about the past few months.

[sagedil]

I revisit originals every blue moon. You know, changing snus tastes and all that. But so far, I am still far happier with Whites.

i had that problem a bit when i started on tourney snus about a year ago. it was my first non u.s. camel snus, and i spit a lot of the juice cause i just couldnt handle it at the time. then i started doing camels again until a few months ago i got some swedish, and i only had said problem with starks. thus i attribute it to nic tolerance, and overall just your bodys tolerance of the snus juice itself.

Also had this problem at first, not anymore. I think you just get used to it with time. The water suggestion is sound advice though, it really helps. Or chew a few pre-Snus Tums! :lol:
