Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) causes chronic inflammation (pain and swelling) in the intestines, called Crohn’s or Ulcerative Colitis. 2% of people have some form of IBD. The condition affects all ages, genders, and young adults. Surgery is often needed to resect the gut.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a syndrome, or group of symptoms affecting 12% of the population.
