This is a support group for people with Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis, and their familes.
Rules:
I haven't had any major symptom overhauls with MJ.
But, I think something it really improves is the monotony of being unwell.
I'd suggest it, even to just take a break from the bullshit that is being always ill.
If it happens to give you a break from symptoms too then that's a damn bonus.
CD here with two small bowel resections, including terminal ilium.
Whenever I would start feeling a bit like "oh, this is going to be a bad night", my go to was Valium. I already take Elavil every night, and adding 2.5mg of Valium on top of it would put me right out for the night and the next morning I would be ok again.
But, it's getting harder and harder for doctors in the US to prescribe Valium, so I turned to cannabis edibles and Kiva chocolate bars are perfect. I can take half or a half of a square (2mg~) at night before bed and that does me just as well as the Valium did.
The only real drawback is that I obviously can't travel with weed edibles, but given how many states in the US allow recreational sales, it's fairly easy to come by.
My GI doc was a bit surprised the first time I mentioned it, but then she was all on board once I talked about how well it works.
