Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)

What it is :

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an umbrella term for two chronic inflammatory conditions of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract: Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. These conditions cause long-term inflammation in the digestive system, leading to a variety of uncomfortable and sometimes debilitating symptoms.

Immune system dysfunction: The immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues in the GI tract.

Gut microbiome imbalance: Disruptions in the balance of bacteria in the intestines may contribute to inflammation.
