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.
