In the past few months, there has been a bombardment in news flashes and media talk about the connections between Crohns disease/Ulcerative Colitis and acne medications. So, I thought I would do some research to try to figure out what the hype is all about. I myself have not tried Accutane, but I have several [...]

What an awesome page. Adam, you are really providing an awesome service to the “IBD Community”!

Sunday, March 7, 2010
