Accutane side affects can cause IBS symptoms

It has recently been brought to my attention that a side effect of taking the drug Accutane for acne treatment is Crohns Disease. Which is closely related to IBS.

I took Accutane for 4 or 5 months in 1985. I began having real "stomach problems" in 1987. Could this have been caused by Accutane.

Has anyone else heard this?

Thanks,
Carol
