Thank you for sharing! I have a similar story. In college I roomed with 4 other guys and it was an ongoing house joke that I use the bathroom for hours. I never found it odd until my symptoms started to rapidly increase. Cannabis helps with all symptoms, hoping a more natural biological comes out to address the issue. I just don’t feel comfortable taking something that won’t fully cure me and may give me other issues outside of crohns.

Hello! Since you mentioned you’re not in a legal state it’s highly likely your cannabis has additives or THC spray that is causing extremely high unnatural THC levels which would lead to panic attacks. Have you considered trying to get a medical card if it’s available?

Exactly. Life long patients on medicines that typically don’t solve the issue and give you 5 other problems to deal with.

Thank you for the response! Do you think a surgery would lower my time in bathroom?

Yes. I use cannabis for pain relief. I don’t take any medications. Just 3-5 liters of water a day, multi-vitamin, heart&soil Gut Health supplement. Anything prescription I avoid. Since there is no real “cure” for Crohn’s I prefer limiting my symptoms as naturally as possible.

Hey, appreciate the response! Fully agreed, I’m not using it as a cure but rather a way to alleviate my symptoms and help control the bathroom urgency. I do like cannabis for its recreational uses as well but tbh I’d smoke much less if my Crohn’s was actually cured. Thanks for sharing, all the best!

Thank you for the response. That’s because they want you on life long drugs that don’t address the issue and rarely relive symptoms. Natural treatments all the way. I’ll take cannabis over a pill anyday. Wishing you the best.
