Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a group of chronic inflammatory conditions primarily affecting the colon and small intestine, with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis being the main types. Symptoms include diarrhea, unexplained weight loss, abdominal pain, bloating, and fatigue, and while the exact cause is unknown, it is believed to involve autoimmune interactions between the immune system, genes, gut microbiome, and lifestyle factors; although there is no cure, IBD can be managed with medication, lifestyle changes, and, in some cases, surgery.
