Eating while on LSD?

NSFW

Hi all, so I have a lot of experience with mushrooms, and will be using LSD for the first time soon.

While on mushrooms I absolutely cannot consume food for the life of me. Literally a single bite turns my stomach and gives me the sweats. I get flushed and nauseous, and the trip immediately takes an unpleasant turn. Even looking at the food sometimes will cause this - seeing my food move triggers something in the primitive part of my brain that tells me I should not eat it.

I also have had issues with low blood pressure while on mushrooms, which can be caused / made worse by not having had enough to eat or drink.

I've learned to mitigate all this by eating beforehand, and staying hydrated throughout the trip. A mushroom trip is short enough that not eating during it is not a big deal. However, I'm concerned that an LSD experience is long enough that it'll be more important for me to eat at some point during it.

Does anyone have any tips for this? Things that might be less likely to turn my stomach? Or things I could do that might mitigate this phenomenon for me?

Thanks in advance!
