Reply to "Marijuana"

Oh yes. It certainly soothes my J-pouch. Just make sure you don’t over munch because that will not help. It’s more natural than most medicines, therefore there are less bad side effects. You may be a little paranoid or anxious after your first couple times, but just don’t overdo it and be smart about when you smoke and you should be alright. In the majority of states that allow medical marijuana, Crohn’s disease is a qualifying condition. I don’t think that’s a coincidence. Also, doctors will tell you that it does help. Before my surgeries, my mother asked my gastroenterologist whether or not I should be smoking and how it affected my ulcerative colitis. She didn’t like his answer. He said it does help. It stimulates appetite, relieves pain, nausea, anxiety, and distracts you from the burden of your condition. It can help you gain weight if that’s an issue. I honestly have not had many issues j-pouch related when regularly smoking. Like I’m almost a normal person. I have recently quit for personal reasons. 2 weeks in now, and I am noticing a decline in the effectiveness of my j-pouch. I’m already going 1-2 more times a day than I was, experiencing more gas, more pain, more liquidy stools. I fear I may have to start back up again. On the bright side, herb is more affordable than healthcare. I’m sure it affects  everyone differently, but I am a strong advocate.
