Learn more about Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) describes conditions that cause severe tummy pain and diarrhoea. It’s not the same as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), even though some of the symptoms may be similar.

The main types of IBD are Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Both are long-term conditions, but there are treatments that can help with your symptoms.
