In recent years there has been growing interest in the use of Medical Cannabis for gastrointestinal disorders, such as inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) like Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis (UC).
In a study in the December 2013 issue of the journal Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, researchers surveyed 292 patients with IBD at a major medical center in Boston about their use of Cannabis and found that 12% were active users and 39% were past users.
Among current and former users who used Cannabis products for their symptoms, the majority felt that it was “very helpful” in relieving their abdominal pain, nausea, and diarrhoea. More recently, a 2018 study in the Journal of Pediatrics found that among 99 teen and young adult patients with IBD, nearly one-third had used Cannabis—and 57% of the users endorsed its use for at least one medical reason, most commonly relief of physical pain.
“A lot of people perceive this as a more natural therapy and preferentially want this over immunosuppressants for inflammatory bowel disease,” says Dr. Byron Vaughn, an associate professor of medicine and co-director of the IBD program at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis.
