ok first off i would like to say i know first hand the benefits i honestly cant eat anything unless i use some first it helps a ton with my gerd as well there has been 0 deaths due to marijuana overdose recorded in the us witch compared to prescription pills is amazing its probably the best thing i have ever used for it you can get the legal alterantive it helps alot as well and is %100 legal in all states if i dont use it before i eat i get severe cramps the next day if i eat at night if not then it happens within hours without the marijuana i have to take 2 or 3 painkillers to eat witch the dr gave me along with some dicyolmicine/anti spasm witch dosent really do enough this is an artical i found on from a good site
"Studies indicate that cannabinoids in marijuana bind with cannabinoid receptors in the digestive tract, especially the small and large intestine, causing muscle relaxation, reduction of inflammation, analgesia, increased nerve-muscle coordination, anti-emesis, and relief of spasms such as those that cause nausea.

Cannabis is also an adaptogenic immune system modulator that can increase or decrease immune systems function in ways that almost always contribute to healthier outcomes.

Cannabis is unique among medicines because it has a comprehensive range of actions that can alleviate several symptoms by altering how the body and brain communicate, and how the self perceives its internal organs and systems"
i have been researching alot on this subject as well i know its very controversial but it works and i think if your in a state thats legal then you should talk to your doctor about it because honestly its the best way iv found so far.
i hope this is usefull remember not to start anything without first consulting your doctor and only use if your in a state that its legal

You might check Heather newsletter on Marijuana and IBS.

There is a good entry in the research library - Marijuana and the gastrointestinal tract

Here is an excellent but detailed article titled Clinical Endocannabinoid Deficiency (CECD): Can this Concept Explain Therapeutic Benefits of Cannabis in Migraine, Fibromyalgia, Irritable Bowel Syndrome and other Treatment-Resistant Conditions? that may be of some interest.

Good luck
