Does Using Cannabis Oil Interrupt The Effectiveness Of Prednisone For Colitis?

My wife has temporarily been put on Prednisone for Collaginus Colitis. She is also a chronic pain sufferer and has been taking medical cannibus oil orraly for approximately two months now. So far the Prednisone has not curbed her diarhea from the colitls which is why her Dr started her on it in the first place. Could the cannibus be affecting or interrupting the effectivenss of the Prednisone?

Hello
No, the cannabis oil would not be affecting the action of the prednisone.

That said, she may need cortisone enemas to help with the diarrhea
