IBD stands for Inflammatory Bowel Disease. It’s a condition where the lining of the digestive tract becomes inflamed. This can cause symptoms like diarrhea, abdominal pain, and weight loss. It can also cause complications like anemia, malnutrition, and even colon cancer. The exact cause of IBD is unknown, but it is thought to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
