Marijuana Treats Inflammatory Bowel Diseases

Patients with inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis could benefit from marijuana use, studies suggest.

University of Nottingham researchers found in 2010 that chemicals in marijuana, including THC and cannabidiol, interact with cells in the body that play an important role in gut function and immune responses. The study was published in the Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics.

THC-like compounds made by the body increase the permeability of the intestines, allowing bacteria in. The plant-derived cannabinoids in marijuana block these body-cannabinoids, preventing this permeability and making the intestinal cells bond together tighter.

What intestinal illness responds BEST to (any illness/disease actually) is a combination of changing diet + a series of liver/colon cleanses + rebooting good bacteria on a daily/weekly basis.

I have done 15+ cleanses & take Pet Flora regularly, though back when I had intestinal issues I took it every day

PF is sold for pets, but is human-grade

Since bacteria is important and good, this would seem like a bad thing.

Ya. This is confusing to me. Qwizo- the forum automatically hyperlinks certain keywords like seeds, marijuana, etc.

I don't know about the healing aspects of marijuana but I know when I had an ulcer it was pot that allowed to me eat, gave me an appetite. I also suffer from IBS but I don't know that pot does anything for that other than again giving me an appetite.

Having not been diagnosed with either crohns or ibs, but coming from someone that get nausated and vomits for no reason, has 15 plus bowel movements a day, turds shaped like flat linguine, blood/mucus leakage.... Pot is my savior! Also, I have gone to a butt doctor once. I submitted a bowel sample and the dr said blood was present and the next step was a butt camera! Unfortunately I couldn't afford the butt procedure.
