Dr. Christian Turbide provides a clear and thorough review of the endocannabinoid system (ECS) and how it helps our bodies regulate pain, and in particular gastrointestinal (GI) motility. It is my understanding that ECS is a complex combination of endocannabinoids that our bodies naturally produce that stimulate the body’s cannabinoid receptors, which are located in many areas of the body including the entire GI tract. Supplementing THC and CBD may stimulate the EC receptors and trigger a host of nuero transmitters that can reduce inflammation, decrease stress and at the very least improve the inflamed GI tract.

This had zero positive to say about CBD for Crohn’s. What’s the point?

I’d prefer this option whenever I feel pain & to maintain stress levels to avoid my triggers. I was diagnosed as a child & I’m not a fan of living on current prescription medication. Thankfully, and probably to my doctor’s disdain, I’ve not relied on meds. I do go back on from time to time when I get out of remission.

Hey Crohn's and Colitis Canada, Can we have a link to the study examining 3.3M IBD patients? No source is cited, thanks!

Very interesting. I have Crohn's for 7 years. In the Netherlands, there are what is called like coffee shops. As you mostlikely know, these are actually marijuana sfips. As I don't like smokimh anything down my respiratory tract, I shall only consume it as food. Now with this CPVID-19 pandemic, I am curious if there has veeb research done in relation to canaboids and SARS CoV2 in offering some ampiny of treatment for COVIS_19 patients. Lastly can canibis help in chronic diarrhoea or would be such a side effect of overdosing on canibis? Thanks a million, Now I shall seek out medical usage of canibis, for my Crohn's situation especialy diarrhoea and gut pain. Lastly, how about opthphomology such as cataracts?
