The 2 main types of IBD

There are 2 main types of inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD—Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Both are chronic diseases that cause inflammation in your digestive tract.

Crohn's Disease

Crohn's disease can cause inflammation in any part of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, although it might only affect certain areas for some people. Crohn's inflammation can involve the entire thickness of the intestinal wall.
