Gastroenterological conditions refer to illnesses affecting the digestive system, including the oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine (colon), rectum, and anus.
These conditions are more common than many realise. For example, around 1 in every 200 people in the UK lives with some form of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), alongside other digestive disorders that can significantly impact daily quality of life.
There are many different types of gastroenterological conditions, each with their own unique symptoms and treatment options. They include:
Because gastroenterology refers to a range of different conditions, symptoms will likely vary from person to person and depending on the specific condition. However, there are some common symptoms to look out for. Patients may suffer from:
A person may experience all or none of these symptoms. For some conditions, symptoms can also be triggered by certain foods or by changes in dietary habits.
Treatment depends largely on the exact condition being dealt with, as well as the individual’s medical history and the severity and regularity of symptoms. Some common forms of treatment for gastroenterological conditions include:
Most of these procedures are designed to examine and diagnose gastroenterological conditions. From there, treatment is often based in surgery or behavioural changes, such as adopting a different diet or avoiding certain foods.
When traditional treatments prove ineffective for gastroenterological issues, medical cannabis offers a potential alternative. By targeting the body’s endocannabinoid system, cannabis-based medicines may help regulate gastrointestinal motility and ease common digestive symptoms.
The widespread presence of CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors in the digestive tract suggests that medical cannabis can reduce intestinal inflammation and improve comfort, making it a viable option for managing a range of gastroenterological conditions.
