I tried everything…until

I was diagnosed about a year ago with ulcerative colitis. I'm a 74 year old, very vibrant woman.

I was given a prescription for steroid suppositories. They didn't seem to help. I went to every website I could find and tried capsules from Brazil, tapioca flour, probiotics, gave up wheat, gave up dairy, took cinnamon capsules and drank buckets of fresh ginger with green tea. Nothing helped at all.

Then I read about three studies; one in Canada and two in Europe. All three involved the use of marijuana. About a month ago, I decided to try it. If I didn't have to drive or have serious responsibilities, I used marijuana and in two weeks, I had normal stools, no diarrhea, no cramps, no urges and it was like I never had a problem at all.

Just my experience and I thought I'd share it.

hi

Very pleased to hear you are doing better. Many here have had success with medicinal marihuana and we have a forum for it under treatment http://www.crohnsforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=63
