IBD, ulcerative colitis, and Crohn’s disease increase the risk of colon cancer and can necessitate surgery to remove all or a part of either or both of your small or large intestines. Moreover, these diseases cause a host of other chronic and painful gastrointestinal symptoms. What brought you here The development of digestive disorders as a result of taking Accutane.

Symptoms you may have

IBD, ulcerative colitis, and Crohn’s disease are chronic diseases that involve painful inflammation of your digestive tract. Ulcerative colitis affects the colon, while Crohn’s disease may strike anywhere in the digestive tract, including the small intestines. Symptoms can include painful abdominal cramping, bloody diarrhea, increased frequency of bowel movements, severe urgency to have a bowel movement, anemia due to blood loss, weight loss, and loss of appetite. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to remove diseased tissue in the intestines, and sometimes results in the necessity of a colostomy bag.
