Gastroenterological
Medical cannabis can act as a potential alternative when conventional treatment options have failed for patients suffering from gastroenterological issues.
Common conditions
- Crohn’s disease
- Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
- Colitis
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
Typical symptoms
Depending on the condition, you may suffer from:
- Bloating and gas
- Pain
- Recurrent constipation or diarrhea
- Digestive issues
Treatment
Treatment of gastroenterological disorders centers on targeting the novel functioning of the endocannabinoid system, which studies have shown may be linked to the regulation of gastrointestinal motility. Issues within the GI tract can be altered through the consumption of cannabis-based medicines.
Due to the distribution of CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors throughout the digestive tract, medical cannabis may also help to reduce intestinal inflammation, meaning that medical cannabis could also be a viable treatment option for a number of other gastroenterological conditions and symptoms.
The Medical Cannabis Clinics offer treatment plans and care for gastroenterological patients through online video link consultations with our expert specialist doctors, who can guide you through treatment options. Appointments start from only £150.
