Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Idiopathic inflammation of the bowel (IBD) is characterised by a dysregulated, resistant response to the gut flora. The two primary types of inflammatory bowel disease are ulcerative colitis (UC), which affects only the colonic mucosa, and Crohn's disease (CD), which can affect any system of the gastrointestinal tract from the mouth to the butt, involves "skip sores," and is transmural. People with IBD are more likely to get cancer since the condition has a hereditary component.
