IBD or Inflammatory Bowel Disease is a chronic disorder of the digestive tract, characterized by inflammation and ulceration. The term IBD is commonly used to refer to two major forms of inflammatory bowel disease, including Crohn's disease and Ulcerative colitis. In medical literature, IBD is often used interchangeably with these two conditions. Synonyms for IBD may include inflammatory disease of the bowels, colitis, ileitis, enteritis, and non-infectious gastroenteritis. While these terms may be used to refer to a wide array of symptoms and medical conditions related to the digestive tract, they are typically used to describe chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract and related complications.
