I have tried it with limited success. That said CBD items work differently for each that use them. And the type oil, salves, edible etc seems to make a difference with some. But let's look at the big difference, that of quality control and trusting the manufacturer. Many of the CBD and Marijuana products to me still feel like unregulated products that are being made in a hippies garage. Thus find a reputable source with testing and more than just a professional website that I can build in 10 minutes. Also make sure to look at potency levels as they differ greatly and the costs can vary greatly also.

I think in many ways to those that are new to cbd etc that is large obstacle for the industry to overcome. The "hey man" VW van dude in a tideye t shirt feel of the industry. It's almost why I wish it would all be slightly more regulated as the testing and tracking aspect per batch would be more consistent at least.

That makes sense. It probably will in the next few years. My husband only hears the word cannabis and rolls his eyes, then again he hasn’t IBS and has perfect health for a 63 year old. Would try anything now tbh am that desperate x

Hi There I have just increased the strength of my "Love CBD" oil and finding it is helping with my pain. This is a reputable company and was advertised a couple of years ago in the Fibromyalgia UK magazine. I use the Entourage spray. You have to keep taking it so it is in your system but you will get a leaflet enclosed if you buy any. You always start low and slow and leave 2 hrs between medication. Sometimes 4 hrs if you are on any meds like warfarin (to prevent blood clots etc).

If you go onto CBD Users UK and put your name in to join their site you can get all the info you need. It can take weeks before you notice a change using it and there are so many different types and strengths that if one isn't helping ,you can ask for info on what else you could try. A lot of it is double-dutch to me as some people take 3 different types at the one type and vape it etc., but I have just stuck with the same one. I found it wasn't helping recently and upped the strength and it seems to be giving me relief now. It is expensive and a lot of them like holland and barratt don't have the same strength of the cbd in it.

If you decide to try any go into google and put in cbd vouchers as sometimes the company you are buying from will be listed and their will be a discount code which helps keep the cost down. The one I am using is £80 it is 1400mg in strengh but you can start off on 800mg which I did or even a lower strength. I didn't realise that after 6 hrs it depletes by about 50% in your system and I don't think I was taking it as often as I should have. It is only 20ml bottles but they do last a good while and it is worth it if it gives you pain relief.

I hope this helps, Good Luck x

Thank you so much, this is really helpful. xx

I find it helps with joint pain. I take the CBD black from simply cbd. I feel it did help my gut symptoms a little but it doesn't help much when in a bad flare. It also doesn't do anything for extreme fatigue. To me the benefits still outway the cost
