Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are the two conditions that fall under the umbrella of IBD. There is a huge range of severity for these conditions. Some patients have mild symptoms of occasional diarrhea or urgency, and they might be treated only with suppositories for a few months. A small percentage of patients may only have one episode or flare-up of colitis in their whole life. On the other side, some people have much more severe symptoms of abdominal pain, bloody stool, weight loss, and anemia, and may have complications like abscesses, fistulae (abnormal connections or tracts that form between parts of the intestines), or bowel obstructions.
