Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an umbrella term used to describe
disorders that involve chronic inflammation of your digestive tract.
Types of IBD include:
Ulcerative colitis.
This condition involves inflammation and sores (ulcers) along the superficial
lining of your large intestine (colon) and rectum.
Crohn's disease.
This type of IBD is characterized by inflammation of the lining of your digestive
tract, which often can involve the deeper layers of the digestive tract.
Both ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease usually are characterized by diarrhea,
rectal bleeding, abdominal pain, fatigue and weight loss.
