ulcerative colitis

Lovely I'll check them out after work later, thankyou!
I really cannot understand the whole diet doesnt make a difference attitude my Dr has too, of course it does! He said I didnt need to do 'any of these strange diets like SCD' but you get so desparate you'll consider these things! Mind you, I got as far as reading the food list, and really couldnt be arsed to cut all that out! Maybe Im just not ill enough! I've lived on bread only before now, just bread, toast, bread... lol nowadays I know from trial and error what I can and cant have. I'll ask my Dr about Sativex next time... but if this goes ok I wont have to see him til October! Fab

cannabis medication is a long-established tradition which makes pharma drugs look nasty it'd be great if it works for another suffering with ibd, i am in contact more and more with people using cannabis in the england for colitis, if we could do it freely and have safe access it'd improve a lot of people's lives. change is not far off i don't think. if you look at what's happening in europe countries are relaxing medicinal cannabis laws- in the last few months switzerland, spain, austria and czechoslovakia have eased laws on medicinal cannabis users, and the Supreme Court in italy letting the rasta man smoke his weed for religous purposes.

this scientist believes diet is relevant...

Ulcerative Colitis Genes Identified

Researchers at the University of Kiel have identified for the first time three genes that are associated specifically with the emergence of ulcerative colitis.

It is the same team of scientists who discovered the first-risk genes for Chrone's disease six years ago.

'... Overall, we can identify 31 genes which play a role in colitis... This means we have a beautiful piece forward... We are starting very slowly to better understand this disease... Today we know that it comes to the epithelial cells in the intestine and that diet has an effect also'. - molecular biologist Stefan Schreiber
