    The key takeaways are that IBD includes Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, which are chronic diseases that inflame the gastrointestinal tract and disrupt digestion. The presentation and treatment was discussed.

    Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) refers to diseases that inflame the lining of the gastrointestinal tract, disrupting the ability to digest food, absorb nutrition and eliminate waste. The two main forms are Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.

    The two main types of IBD are Crohn's disease, which can occur anywhere along the GI tract but usually in the lower small bowel and colon, and ulcerative colitis, which only affects the large intestine and rectum.
