    chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract

    Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a term that encompasses chronic inflammatory conditions of the gastrointestinal tract, primarily including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. These conditions cause symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and weight loss, and can lead to complications like malnutrition and increased risk of colon cancer. The exact cause of IBD is unknown, but it involves an abnormal immune response to intestinal bacteria in genetically predisposed individuals.
