CBD for UC / Other methods?

My dad has UC for as long as I can remember - I am 20. He has been on multiple medications and still is and has never ever had full relief. - Cant do certain things because of it and it impacts his life.

I wanted him to try CBD oil, however as I live in the UK it hard to get a good one.

If we was to buy CBD it would have to have 0.3% THC and the CBD would be from hemp as thats all you can get in the UK i believe.

Is this likely not to work as more THC would be needed and not from hemp?

Also are there any other ways of helping this issue. I think he has given up with going through the NHS as he has never got anywhere and normally makes the situation worse.

thanks

  1. I just purchased a bottle of CBD Hemp oil.

    I am starting at a very low dose, because I am hypersensitive to just about anything I ingest. The internet is full of information, and not all of it is good. Here is a good place to start.

    good luck to you

    1. Hi ,

      Just checking in to see if you found a good option for CBD oil for your dad. I use Hemp oil but I live in the USA and it is easy to order it here. I wonder if they ship to the UK? I use the brand Quick Silver Scientific. It worked really well for me and helped lessen symptoms and even give me a good nights sleep.

      Keep us posted with how your father is doing. Sending my best to you both.

      1. Hi Elizabeth! Please can I ask what dosage you took? I tried CBD oil briefly and I feel like it really helped! It could have been psychological but I did want to give it another try… unfortunately I don’t know what dose I tried before. I feel like you’re probably a similar height and weight to me, so I figured I would ask what dose you used if you know? Many thanks ❤️

        1. Thank you so much for this info - I am indeed the same height as you but slightly lighter in weight than you but not by much! ❤️🫶🙏
