Overview

Digestive disorders include heartburn, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI), colitis and Crohn's disease. Scientific research has shown that CBD for Crohn's disease has very positive effects on patients with GI (gastrointestinal) tract problems.However, as cannabis treatment is still not widely accepted, digestive issues have become the most predominant category of diseases in the western world. These conditions are especially prevalent in the US, having increased significantly during the last decade.According to a 2013 survey, discussed on Fox News Health by Dr. Manny Alvarez, 74% of Americans (239 million) are living with gastrointestinal (GI) discomfort with symptoms like diarrhea, gas, bloating and abdominal pain.However, with 29 states and Washington D.C. already allowing the use of medical cannabis, the therapeutic properties of this plant are experiencing a well-deserved resurgence. After hundreds of years being used by herbal healers, the United States research teams are now finally able to catch up.Crohn's disease is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Like most chronic bowel conditions, Crohn's disease is characterized by recurrent episodes of abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, and many other symptoms.According to the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America, there are 1.6 million Americans that suffer from different types of IBD. Crohn's disease is considered a chronic disease, which means that, as far as research currently shows, it cannot be cured. It can, however, be controlled.Some factors that can cause GI (gastrointestinal) issues are: StressLack of exerciseLow fiber dietToo much dairy productsWithholding 'flatulence'Table of ContentsSide effects of 'Big Pharma' medicationOveruse of laxativesPregnancyLife routine changes or travelCBD - Relief for many bowel diseasesThere is already extensive research on the anti-inflammatory properties of Cannabidiol as well as its ability to reduce or eliminate pain with CBD, nausea, diarrhea and vomiting. Besides that, research has also proven that CBD mitigates depression and stress. As GI problems are often caused by stress, it will not only relieve the symptoms but treat the root cause at the same time.Thanks to these ever-increasing studies, there is limited proof that cannabis extracts such as CBD oil may provide an alternative for patients suffering chronic pain conditions, insomnia, migraines, and treatment-resistant forms of epilepsy.Marijuana has been used in California since 1996 to treat numerous symptoms including loss of appetite and intense pain. Today, many people are starting to use CBD oil for Crohn's disease, a gastrointestinal condition caused by inflammation at the end of the small intestine and the beginning of the colon.
