suprisingly ive been doing a good job of turning my diet around and only eating healthy. i found that the heavy head highs work good but it usually knocks me out.
sativa indica..i should really learn the difference. im so used to like whatever some shady dealer has. now i can pick what i want, its wierd.

I too have Crohn's Disease among a few other major problems and I tend to go towards a high indica. Sativa's are the up highs and I notice that indica's help slow down the abdominal spasms. Hope this helps

btw thanks for the message pushinweight. haha i couldnt message back cause i dont have enough posts. but thanks for the offer and stuff. we should smoke sometime!

smokeout for everyone with crohns!

I've found old greasy Indy's or Indy dom. hybrids to help myself and a lot of others.

Blueberry is a great starting point for IBD / IBS relief seekers.

Having syptoms from both IBS and Chrons I've found the same for me and my horrible stomach pains. Indica dominant strains like Grand Daddy Purple or Blackberry are two that work very well for my pains. Bubba and OG Kush also work well to calm the pains while also leaving me with a nice uplifting head stone as well.

are you on a strict diet... cause i personally can't digest any form of starch or sugar.. so i'm forced to eat a high protien diet which includes lamb beef poultry and lots of fruits and vegtables for carbohydrates

WARNING: all chrons patients should avoid the ingredient whey and fos they cause harmfull bacteria that will eat your intestines up.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Derivatives of the active compound in cannabis -- cannabinoids -- may have the potential for treating inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, UK researchers report.

"The system that responds to cannabis in the brain is present and functioning in the lining of the gut," lead researcher Dr. Karen Wright, of the University of Bath, explained to Reuters Health. "There is an increased presence of one component of this system during inflammatory bowel diseases," she explained.

Wright and her colleagues established the location of cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2 in human colon tissue, and used human colon cell lines to investigate the binding of cannabinoid compounds and in wound-healing experiments. They report their findings in the journal Gastroenterology

The team found that CB2 was increased in colonic tissue characteristic of inflammatory bowel disease. Cannabinoids enhanced surface wound closure via CB1-related mechanisms.

"Cannabinoids, which we make ourselves, as well as synthetic cannabinoids, can promote wound healing in the gut, which is extremely interesting given that inflammatory bowel disease involves damaged gut linings," Wright said.

Although results are available yet, she added, relevant studies of the use of cannabinoids are taking place in the UK and a clinical trial is being conducted in Germany.

Thanks for the article! It explains a lot about why smoking marijuana instantaneously alleviates any and all of my severe stomach pains.

Also thank you for your advice about my diet, I've been on a strict diet for many years. I typically stump most doctors, I have been diagnosed with celiac disease by one doctor, chrons by another,IBS by them all, and been put on just about every medication known to man kind for stomachs. I've had tests beyond tests with all of them coming back inconclusive. Marijuana is the only medicine I've found that lets me live a normal life, one where I dont need to be near a restroom at any given time, not only that but one in which I dont have to live with pains that I've known for over 20 years, pains that almost caused me to drop out of highschool.
