Is It Safe For Liver To Take Oil Of Oregano For Proctitis?

I am on Asacol 800HD 2 tablets t.i.d. and Prednisone 20 mg. every other day for possible proctitis. I am diagnose with Crohn's disease and experiencing rectal bleeding. I want to start taking oil of oregano (oreganol brand) for the proctitis orally and rectally (properly diluded of course). However, I am resistent to certain antibiotics. First, will taking the oil of oregano put too much of a strain on my liver and two, will the oil of oregano bother my system since it is considered an antibiotic.

Hi,Welcome to Health care magic forum.
You are positive for crohn's disease. so you should be keen about the diet restrictions,like completely avoiding the wheat,and barley etc.
Avoid taking spices, junk foods, and oily foods.Also avoid untimely foods.
There will be no reply regarding the products like oil of oregano.due to lack of studies, and individual variation.
Have regular visits to your doctor,and find the correct answer to the medicines you have to use.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
