Regarding oregano oil, I bought it at the recommendation of some people in the group. I bought capsules from the brand ReThinkOil. They actually made me feel a lot better and I thought it might have fixed my pouchitis, but then I went for a routine pouchoscopy and was told I still had severe pouchitis, which I was disappointed to hear. So far I've always had to take antibiotics to get rid of it. I hate Flagyl, it leaves a terrible taste in my mouth, but this time I got Xifaxan and had no side effects.
