Hi Rebecca, one option is to take a small dose of CBD on a daily basis (using a tincture that is easily titrated) and then increase during travel or particularly stressful times. I’m happy to chat with you if have further questions. 🙂

My IBS-D flares the worst when I’m traveling, which is awful. Even on a fun vacation I think the underlying stress of travel wreaks havoc on my system. I’m curious if CBD could be taken prior to and during a trip for ease of symptoms. Or, is it recommended to take regularly to keep a healthy system with IBS-D.

Great article! I can attest to the efficacy of CBD. I’m a medical card holder in California, and have used CBD for just under a year for use relating to adrenal fatigue, leaky gut, and autoimmune issues which were exacerbated by severe stress. I used a tincture daily and found the anti-inflammatory properties were amazing. I am more relaxed now, and my gut is healthier. I refer many of my friends to it for anti-inflammatory issues, either in the gut or the joints.

Thanks for this information. I have been curious about trying CBD and because I believe you are a trusted source for information….I went ahead and ordered from YuYo Botanics. I can’t wait for it to arrive!!!

In reply to Vivian Lewis.

To be honest, Vivian, this is a new area for me! I just recommended it for the first time –and I am meeting w/ that client for feedback next week. Janice mentioned that she has found IBS patients have seen benefits. Many individuals with IBS experience anxiety and depression–and CBD seems to benefit anxiety –as noted in the studies I linked in the post.

In reply to Cate. Thanks for your comment, Cate. I didn't mention that I also tried the salve for facial pain--I have a minor nose fracture and my face experienced blunt trauma in the fall. And, it did help with the symptoms.

Thanks, Kate, for including me in this post. I have seen some good results with my clients using CBD to manage symptoms of IBS and have a number of resources on my Jannabis Wellness website. I’m happy to answer any questions!
