MEDICAL MARIJUANA FOR CROHN'S DISEASE PATIENTS

Crohn’s Disease is one of the two major types of irritable bowel syndrome. With Crohn’s Disease, the lining of the GI tract is affected, which can not only cause severe pain for patients, but can also be life-threatening in some cases. While the condition affects each patient differently, the most common area of the GI tract affected is where the small and large intestines join. Flare-ups and periods of remission will occur. Sometimes, the periods of remission are very lengthy if the symptoms are being properly and effectively managed. 

However, there are those patients who do not respond to traditional prescription medications used to treat symptoms of Crohn’s Disease. The marijuana doctors at Adult Health DNP can help you find an alternative treatment method.
