What is Inflammatory Bowel Disease?

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) refers to a group of abnormal conditions involving the Colon and Small Intestine.  Two common forms of IBD include Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis. Other less-common forms of IBD include Collagenous Colitis, Lymphocytic Colitis, Ischaemic Colitis, Diversion Colitis, Behcet's Syndrome and Indeterminate Colitis.

Crohn's Disease involves inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract and symptoms can be found anywhere from the mouth to the colon. Symptoms include vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain and weight loss.  There is no known cure

Ulcerative Colitis is a serious condition marked by the appearance of ulcers or open sores in the large intestine or colon. 

Accutane and other drugs containing isotretinoin have been used to treat severe acne for many years.  Recently, their use has been linked to inflammatory bowel disease.

Accutane has been used to treat severe acne in children and adults.

"Accutane, also known as isotretinoin, a drug used for treatment of acne, has been linked to Inflammatory Bowel Disease, a group of serious and irreversible disorders such as Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn's Disease.  Lawsuits are being filed around the country on behalf of victims of these drugs."
