Accutane with a jpouch?

Hi guys! It's been awhile since I was last here, and I figured if any community would help, it'd be here.

Long story short, I'm considering going the Accutane route soon for my acne. I've had my jpouch for nearly two years, and while there's the blanket "this drug may cause UC" blah blah disclosure, I have literally been unable to find any commentary (including from my derm or my GI) on whether there are potential issues within the context of, well, actually having had UC and no longer having a colon...

Has anyone done a round of isotretinoin with a pouch, or read anything about doing so?

I've read enough studies to be aware that the "link" between Accutane and IBD is very, very casual, and so it shouldn't pose any problems there, but I also know it's a heavy-duty drug regardless.
