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.

Ulcerative Colitis
Unlike Crohn’s disease, the effects of ulcerative colitis (UC) are limited to the large intestine, and inflammation only occurs in the innermost lining of the intestine.
