Hi Sue,

 

Welcome to the site. You can read about the medication Dronabinol here: http://www.rxlist.com/marinol-drug.htm  If you have other questions about side effects from this or any other drug you are taking you should consult with your doctor or pharmacist.

 

As regards what to eat with IBD, you may want to read some of my Shareposts on the topic - see the list of link below. But, the problem is, there isn't one answer to your question. What one IBDer can eat, isn't always feasible for another IBDer. There's a lot of experimentation that each of us has to do to figure out what we can and can't eat at any given time in our disease. If you are in a flare-up you might try the low-residue or white and light diet - good quality yogurt, scrambled eggs, white rice, white toast, baked chicken breast or white fish.
