A new study has found that the use of the acne medication isotretinoin, (Accutane), is associated with an increased risk of Inflammatory Bowel Disease, (IBD), which, of course, has long been suspected.

I took 30 mg of accutane daily for 9 months, I blame this for my MC I am so depressed, because I was very healthy, except for the acne. Nobody told me about this

I'm sorry that you got caught up in that. It should have been removed from the market many years ago. Your doctor should have mentioned that risk to you if you got it by prescription, because that research was published over ten years ago.
