What is Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)?
Inflammatory Bowel Disease, commonly referred to as IBD, is a chronic condition characterized by inflammation in the digestive tract.

While the exact causes of IBD are still being studied, current research suggests a combination of genetic, environmental, and immune system factors contribute to its development.

The symptoms of IBD can vary from person to person and may range from mild to severe. Common symptoms include:
- Abdominal pain and cramping
- Diarrhea or bloody stools
- Unintentional weight loss
- Fatigue and weakness
- Nausea and loss of appetite
