Been on accutane for almost 27 days now. Never had any gas problems ever. My diet Usually consists of apples, pears, oranges, bannanas, beef, protein shakes, eggs. I've been following this diet for a long time now and I never had any gas problems, BUT recently I switched up my diet for the past 3-4 days (When this problem began I believe) to eating about 20 or SO bannas a day + eating some beef, protein shakes and 2 eggs. Now I pass gas every few minutes or so. It's really getting on the annoying side and I'm worried. Is it from accutane causing IBS? Or is it from the diet. I really don't want to stop tane cause its doing me wonders.

I don't recall gas from Accutane. Why would you want to eat 20 bananas? I can't think of any good reason.

But that's a lot of fruit and thus sugar in your stomach, which could be causing it. Red meat is also known to cause gas.

All that fruit can do it. Try to keep your diet more balanced. Bananas are good for you but too much of anything isn't good.
