Irritable bowel syndrome and medical cannabis: FAQs
What digestive symptoms should I track before review?
Track abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, nausea, appetite, food triggers, stress triggers, and how symptoms change over time.
Can IBS symptoms hide a more serious condition?
Yes. Blood in stool, fever, unexplained weight loss, anemia, severe vomiting, or new symptoms after age 50 should be assessed medically first.
Should I mention diet, probiotics, or gut medicines?
Yes. Share diet changes, probiotics, antispasmodics, laxatives, anti-diarrheal medicines, acid reducers, antibiotics, and supplements.
Can cannabis be reviewed for nausea as well as IBS?
Yes, nausea can be discussed, but the clinician should consider cause, dehydration risk, medication effects, and whether urgent care is needed.
How does PT33 fit digestive symptom support?
If approved, PT33 records the clinician-reviewed digestive indication and the Thailand dispensing limits for licensed dispensary use.
What does the consultation fee cover?
Consultations start at ฿500 for the practitioner’s assessment and advice. The fee does not guarantee a prescription; the final price depends on the service you choose.
