Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis both fall under the umbrella term of Inflammatory Bowel Disease, or IBD an autoimmune disease where the body's immune system attacks the gut.
Crohn’s disease can cause inflammation anywhere in the digestive system, though it usually affects the bowels.
Ulcerative colitis, often referred to simply as "colitis", can cause inflammation and ulcers in the colon and rectum. There's still stigma and embarrassment to discuss about IBD, but more people need to concern about it.
