Lialda ulcerative colitis and crohn’s
Irritable bowel syndrome is a term that refers to a collection of diseases that include ulcerative colitis and crohn’s disease.
Inflammation and tiny ulcers in the gastrointestinal tract lining are symptoms of ulcerative colitis. Abdominal discomfort and bleeding are common symptoms. You may have periods when the illness is active and you have a lot of symptoms, as well as periods when you have less symptoms.
Inflammatory gastrointestinal conditions such as Crohn’s disease last for years. Abdominal discomfort and diarrhea, which can be bloody, as well as weight loss, are common symptoms.
