While there are a number of different treatments for IBD, many symptoms like severe abdominal pain, bloody stool, diarrhea, and loss of appetite aren’t completely controlled by available medications.
So, people are starting to look elsewhere for relief from IBD symptoms. Many are turning their attention — and hope — toward cannabis products, which include cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).
This article will delve into the current research on how CBD may be helpful for people with IBD.
CBD may help people manage IBD symptoms
A 2018 study out of Israel, which hasn’t yet been published,
found that CBD helped people with Crohn’s disease better manage their symptoms. Interestingly, however, it didn’t actually reduce the inflammation in their guts.
CBD may help reduce leaky gut
A
2019 studyTrusted Source looked at using CBD and palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) to reduce intestinal hyperpermeability – or
leaky gut. PEA is a fatty acid amide made by the body, and is known for reducing pain caused by inflammation.
The study showed that CBD and PEA together reduced permeability in the colon, which could be beneficial for people with IBD.
However, the study noted that many of the variables used could have affected their findings, and the study wasn’t done exclusively on people with IBD.
CBD may help treat colitis when taken with other cannabinoids
A
2016 studyTrusted Source done on mice found that when CBD was taken alone, it had no effect on colitis. However, when CBD was taken along with other cannabinoids, it decreased damage from colitis.
At best, we can surmise that CBD can positively affect the symptoms associated with IBD. However, we can’t say for certain that it has any effect on the inflammation itself.
