There are two main types of IBD; Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn’s disease. In these conditions, the immune system attacks the lining of the colon causing inflammation and ulceration, bleeding and diarrhoea. In ulcerative colitis this only involves the large intestine, whereas in Crohn’s disease areas within the entire digestive tract can be involved. Both diseases are chronic (long term) with symptoms coming (relapse) and going (remission) over a number of years.
