My son developed Crohn’s suddenly in 2020 at age 14. He’d never been sick a day in his life, is a healthy eater and an active athlete. It’s so frustrating hearing non-IBD folks’ opinions on this debilitating disease. CBD might help with some symptom relief but omg it’s not some magic elixir for seriously sick people! The reality in our case is that my son needs a medical infusion every 8 weeks for the rest of his life in order to live a “normal” life.. and those infusions cost nearly 2k a pop in the US. Dietary changes are not enough.. in my opinion environmental factors AND the food we eat are to blame for the rise of IBD in the Western world.
