Does Marijuana Help Diverticulitis?
I ve been diagnosed with acute diverticulitis and have researched and learned that marijuanna helps relieve some symptoms. I ve tried it recently and feel it has helped with appetite and pain. Is this a effective option and what side affects if any will I find with this? What are my risks in comparison to the noticeable rewards?

Hello,
Marijuana is not recommended for diverticulitis but it can provide some pain relief. However no gastroenterologists recommends marijuana and it can cause unwanted side effects including addiction.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care

Dr. Shinas Hussain
