Can you smoke marijuana with Celiac Disease?

Answer 1

There are no medical journals or studies that I was able to find linking cannabis causally to Celiac Disease. I did, however, find a wealth of knowledge of ways that cannabis can beneficially treat symptoms of Celiac Disease.

"Marijuana can be used to treat many of the symptoms of celiac disease that are qualifying medical conditions under state medical marijuana laws. Marijuana "cools the gut." It slows down the muscle contractions that move food through the stomach and intestines and reduces the secretion of liquid into the intestines associated with diarrhea (3). Marijuana also controls the muscle spasms associated with diarrhea. It also increases appetite and can offset the inefficiency in the celiac's ability to absorb nutrients from the food he/she eats.

Constituents in marijuana called cannabinoids interact with receptors (called CB1 receptors) in the enteric nervous system (the part of the nervous system that directly controls the gastrointestinal system) and with CB1 receptors in the brain. The cannabinoids in marijuana that contribute to its ability to treat the symptoms of celiac disease include tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). People with celiac disease should use marijuana strains that contain relatively high concentrations of both of these constituents. Active celiac disease causes the number of CB1 receptors in the small intestines to increase (6) as the body seeks to counteract the consequences of gluten-dependent inflamation. THC binds to CB1 receptors on cells in the gut and brain and acts as an agonist to inhibit emptying of the stomach and transit of food through the intestines (7,8). CBD acts on CB2 receptors on immune cells to reduce inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract (4). CBD has little effect on intestinal motility on its own, but it synergizes the effect of THC (5)."
