Diverticulitis occurs when diverticula tear, resulting in inflammation, and in some cases, infection.  Treatments vary depending on the severity of signs and symptoms.  If symptoms are mild, antibiotics to treat infection may be prescribed.  Sometimes a doctor might recommend a liquid diet for a few days to help the healing process.  If symptoms are severe, an insertion of a drain tube to drain abdominal abscess or surgery such as a primary bowel resection or a bowel resection with colostomy.

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a non-psychoactive compound derived from the cannabis plant known for its potential therapeutic effects.  CBD reduces pain and inflammation to relieve the symptoms of diverticulitis. Instead of attaching to receptors like most cannabinoids, CBD boosts other parts of the system.

It blocks FAAH, a fatty acid that breaks down the endocannabinoid anandamide. The Endocannabinoid System (ECS) creates anandamide to regulate mood and the pain response. The higher amount of anandamide reduces the amount of pro-inflammatory cells in your immune system. When it reaches your diverticula, it attaches to the receptors on them to mitigate their immune response.

CBD can act as a supplement or replacement for painkillers that cause diverticulitis. Since it reduces inflammation, it also addresses the pain caused by the inflammatory response. The anandamide preserved by CBD regulates pain signals, lowering their severity.
