Crohn’s Disease vs. Ulcerative Colitis: What’s the Difference?

Both are forms of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), but they affect the digestive tract differently:

Crohn’s Disease: Can impact any part of the GI tract from mouth to anus, with inflammation appearing in patches.
Ulcerative Colitis: Affects only the colon and rectum, with continuous inflammation along the lining.
Understanding these differences is key to diagnosis and effective treatment. If you’re experiencing symptoms like abdominal pain, diarrhea, or fatigue, consult a specialist today.
