You are approaching this in the correct fashion by reporting any side effects to the FDA.
But I would like you to know, that the package information for Accutane does make it clear that Accutane may exacerbate Inflammatory bowel disease. Now, I do not believe that it has been shown to potentiate (which is what you are questioning) IBD, so this is something worth bringing to the FDA's attention.
Hope this helps,
