Do you want to talk about why dermatologists are lying to people about this and saying that accutane has been “scientifically proven” to NOT cause bowel disease and Crohn’s? When we all know that it obviously does…😵💫🤦♀️

This is excellent information, thanks for posting it. Acne is really crappy, but... please, please don't ruin your health by taking Accutane, (or whatever name they're calling it now). Gut health is crucial for overall health and without it you will suffer. I took 2 courses of Accutane, when I was a teenager and then again in my early 30's. I'm 58 now and have bad joint and muscle pain almost everywhere and my brain fog is so bad, it's almost like I'm drunk all the time. I was once very athletic, smart and productive. Now I'm none of those things. Try to take the time to manage acne via natural methods and as Dr. Meyer says, through improving gut health. One of the biggest improvements to my skin came when I stopped using any soap or cleansers of any kind on my face. For 20 years I've used nothing but water, washing twice a day, gently massaging my face with water only. My dermatologist at the time told me it was a big mistake and not to do it but I persisted and was able to get much improved skin.

I have been on 2 rounds of accutane. First round was around 4 months long and then my acne returned. Second round was only 3 weeks and I experienced the worst pain and IBD symptoms. I was rushed in for emergency ileostomy surgery. I now have UC and a stoma bag. I just wish there was more information provided before I was put onto this. Please be careful everyone, I’d hate you to be put in the same situation! Especially be wary if you have ibd in your family. I’d love to get into contact with you Shelley, and discuss!

I've been taking isotretinoin for 2 months now I started with 10mg which gradually increased and ever since I was put on 40mg i started experiencing mild constipation and felt gassy throughout the day. Earlier i would go to the bathroom first day in the morning and now it's mostly in the afternoon or night. I forgot to bring this up with my dermatologist during the last appointment. Should I be concerned about this?

@@RobertSmith-bh5cv I talked with my dermatologist again today and told them about my issues, altho they said they that the medicine has nothing to do with my constipation. I told them about the time I took this medication a year ago for 15 days but stopped when I started experiencing severe nausea. I remembered that I had constipation then too but I didn't suspect it was due to the medicine at all. It's weird that I had the same symptoms twice while on this medicine. She gave me some medicine for the constipation. Lastly i told her i don't wanna continue the medication any longer due to the low mood and nausea alone. She told me it's fine and it's my descision. But she advised me to start taking a lower dose of 20 mg for the next 2 months then stop it taking it.

It's not necessarily a big concern as it is now but as I mentioned in the video IBS and microbiome issues can be a big side effect of this med. It would be good to check out some of my gut health videos so you can ensure a healthy microbiome, particularly if you are going to stay on the medication.
