Duac Gel

Just been to my new GP about my acne. He has prescribed me with Duac Gel despite my reservations.
I was prescribed it a couple of years ago and it worked really well with my skin but I started getting hideous IBS type symptoms. So I stopped using it and the symptoms went away.
I have explained this to him but he thinks that I should give it another go, stop using it if the IBS symptoms return and then, after a six week break, try it again and see if they return.
It was really bad last time, really impacting on my sleep, which really can't be a thing because of my fybromyalgia.
The more I think about it, the more frustrated and fobbed off I am feeling.
Is this an actual medical approach to getting to the bottom of side-effects?
And has anyone else experienced similar while using Duac gel?
