I am 38yrs old. 12 years ago I had my gallbladder removed and have suffered with chronic diarrhea ever since. I've been to the doctor and they say I have ulcerative colitis. I do not take the meds rx'd by conventional doctors because most have side effects that destroy you even more than your original illness. Since I started working last July,my stomach problems have become severe. I have lost over 20lbs and I hardly eat anything at all. I would not be able to hold a job if I ate because everything goes straight through me. Due to suffering with this for so long I have developed something else causing excruciating rectal pain, possibly a fissure or spasms. I am taking natural meds and working on healing my self but I have had some people say that cannabis is helpful to my illness. Is this true? Has anyone else suffered similar problems and cannabis helped them? I used to smoke as a teen and I loved it but I now hate the feeling of being high, but I am willing to try it in very small amounts if it can help. I was in such pain the other day that I was crying hysterically and I can't take it any more. I am desperate to have a normal life again. I never go out and I hardly eat at all. I do know one thing that cannabis does do which is enhance the female libido which would be a great plus since chronic illness seems to destroy that as well.
