What is IBD?
IBD is a chronic condition that triggers inflammation within the digestive tract and can negatively impact your quality of life. It includes two long-term, chronic conditions: Crohn's disease, characterized by inflammation of the digestive tract, most often affecting the small intestine; and ulcerative colitis, characterized by inflammation of the large intestine and rectum.
