I had to Google this before sharing it with my sibling who suffers from Crohn’s. The directions for Duac say not use it with certain bowel conditions.Topical abx are not the same as oral. Applying it to your skin would have no effect on your crohns. The reason we avoid oral abx is because they are very aggravating on the gut which obviously causes issues with an already delicate gut.

Thanks so much for sharing that. That’s really reassuring, just what I wanted to hearJust sharing what my dermatology consultant told me when I queried if I could use the topical antibiotic she had prescribed. My gastro team told me to avoid oral but not topical. Antibiotics absorbed in the gut will aggregate the gut more than those absorbed into the bloodstream via the skin.
