Accutane and Rectal Bleeding

***SPIKE*** · 10-06-2005, 05:14 PM

Sounds like a touchy subject but it can be serious.

One of my good friends called me and asked me that question because he knew I was on it and loved it. I really didnt have an answer. I called my doc to ask him and he said that one of the sides to Accutane is Colitis but wasn't sure that's what he was gettign unless tests were performed.

I remember when I was on it I would see blood occasionally but could count on one hand how many times it occurred over a 5 month haul.

Anyon else ever have this problem? If so did you continue use and what was the outcome???

Obviously discontinuing use is the best thing to do but dont know if it will effect the long term process accutane takes to complete its job.

I get it occasionally, One of my training partners also approached me reluctantly with this question about 6 months ago. I am clueless what causes this, but it seems like it only happens while we are on cycle. BTW I was taking Dbol at the time.

Yea this is true.

We all know that eating a lot of protein is harsh on the digestive system and colon. It has to work overtime to break it down. Especially dense meats like steak........Whenever I eat steak I always take a small scoop of fiber (10g) and drink it after. Kind of hairy on the way down but will aid in digestion.

As far as my buddy goes I was viewing it more as possibly his colon drying out due to the accutane. Anyone tane users experience this???

Thanks for the input guys.......................

ever hear of spastic colon??? alot of times it's loose.. alot of times it can become impacted.. and alot of gas..

a internal fissure is also possible.. get that checked to insure it's not colon cancer..

yep.. it's scope time..

Ughhhhhhhhhhh a colonoscopy must be the worst. He said its on and off and doesnt want to go to the doc. That's one thing I will always do with any concerns I have. Go see a doc to make sure my health is in check.
