This topic is about using CBD and THC for managing nausea and pain after having an ostomy. The person who started the discussion is dealing with severe nausea and discomfort and finds that cannabis helps. However, their doctors blame cannabis for these symptoms without offering other explanations. They are looking for reliable information to reassure their family, especially their grandmother, that CBD is safe for people with ostomies.

Here are some helpful insights and advice shared by others:

1. Many people with ostomies use CBD or THC regularly without any negative effects on their stoma output or overall function.

2. Nausea might be caused by other factors, such as scar tissue or partial obstructions after surgery for Crohn’s disease. It might be worth asking doctors to check for adhesions or strictures instead of focusing solely on cannabis use.

3. Reviewing medications could be beneficial. One person discovered that their prescription drugs, not cannabis, were causing stomach issues. Reducing unnecessary medications helped alleviate their problems.

4. For those looking for prescription options, Cyclizine 50 mg (available in the UK) taken before meals, especially those containing dairy, helped another person with an ileostomy manage their nausea.

5. The quality and dosage of CBD products can vary greatly. It's important to choose brands that provide third-party lab certificates to ensure potency. Starting with a low dose and gradually increasing it until it is effective is recommended.

6. Non-smoking methods of using CBD or THC, such as vaping e-liquids, have been reported to help with sleep without affecting the stoma. Oral options like HHC Gummies are also suggested for relaxation and pain relief without inhalation.

7. Magnesium supplements might help ease intestinal cramping associated with an ostomy.

8. There is a noted stigma and medical bias against cannabis, even though it is considered no worse than alcohol or nicotine. Advocating for oneself and presenting reputable studies can help counteract this prejudice.
