More than 2.5 million families have changed their lives through Financial Peace University (FPU) since it first launched in 1994. The tracker is a real-time calculation of the estimated turnaround that occurs each time another family signs up for FPU.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease Overview. The term inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) describes a group of disorders in which the intestines become inflamed. The likeliest cause is an immune reaction the body has against its own intestinal tissue. Two major types of IBD are ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.
Other causes include hernias and Crohn's disease, which can twist or narrow the intestine, and tumors, which can block the intestine. A blockage also can happen if one part of the intestine folds like a telescope into another part, which is called intussusception.
