Ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease are two types of inflammatory bowel disease. These conditions cause diarrhea, abdominal pain, and other symptoms. People with Crohn’s disease may have multiple ulcers in the lining of the GI tract. These ulcers can cause intestinal blockages or infections. Ulcerative colitis causes ulcers to form in the rectum and colon. Because both conditions are caused by an overactive immune system, keeping inflammation under control is the best way to manage them. If you have ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease, work with one of our providers to find a treatment regimen that works for you.
