Inflammatory bowel disease: a guide
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an “umbrella term” that comprises a group of chronic conditions which cause inflammation in the digestive tract, and sometimes in other tissues. The two main forms of IBD are Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. These conditions lead to a variety of gastrointestinal symptoms, which differ in severity and presentation between individuals. If you or a loved one has recently been diagnosed with IBD, it can be daunting to understand the condition and its implications. A renowned gastroenterologist helps to clarify some aspects of IBD, how it affects the body, and what options are available for managing symptoms.
