I am an accutane survivor, I experienced the common side effects (IBS-C, Headaches, heart palpitation, dry everything, fatigue, etc..) I've found the low vitamin A diet recently I've started to reduce my vitamin A intake. My last blood test showed 2.4 umol (vitamin A retinol) I will update everyone here.
Take care

It's been a month since I reduced my vitamin A intake (without stopping completely) and a few days ago I had a very pressing urge to poo. The stools had a very strange smell. I thought something had been excreted (toxic bile?).
I have to admit that this event reminds me to take things very slowly.Take care

Quote from Philippe on May 16, 2024, 7:09 amUpdate 3 month (low vitamin A) and 3 years since ending accutane :
supplement : L-glutamine / vitamin C / vitamin D-mk7
Diet : It seems that I am feeling better on high fat diet, I eat mainly beaf ( 15 pourcent fat), ghee butter, and some fruits now and then.
lifestyle : light cardio (20 min) just to sweat a bit, cold shower, meditation, lot of sleep, and sun exposure.
General notes :
- Just realise that my dry eyes improved since the end of accutane treatment (2021)
- My bowel movements are sometimes constipation and sometimes loose stool (very dark and floating stools) maybe due to bile dump ?
- I have always some issues with my mental health (will try L-carnitine soon ).
