hi there,
thanks lori276 and te marie, glad you found the info helpful! its a shame that such a potent medicine remains stigmatized and inaccessible to so many who are in pain. i'm glad to see that this is changing, however, and am trying to help as i can.
wish i could say i was surprised to hear a GI say CBD doesn't help inflammation. please refer him specifically to the 2015 journal article "The Endogenous Cannabinoid System Protects Against Colonic Inflammation"
it is a huge help to the community to share new info with doctors and health professionals (it can be difficult for anyone to keep up with research and overcome stigma), but they are then able to share this updated information with patients and colleagues.
here is also link with 10+ medical journal articles related to crohn's and colitis:
http://www.projectcbd.org/cond...-and-Crohn%E2%80%99s
and one more to a personal story (from an individual that never smoked/drank), and a link to a subreddit with lots of good stuff:

https://www.reddit.com/r/UlcerativeColitis
some seem to feel better with just CBD treatment, and some add it to other regimens (sulfa etc), but so far i have not seen a single response to CBD that has been anything other than positive.
hope this helps too, wish you both the best, please let me know and questions or comments,
thanks again! lance
