If you are struggling with long-term digestive issues, it's essential to understand the difference between Ulcerative Colitis (UC) and Crohn’s Disease—two major types of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). Both conditions involve chronic inflammation of the digestive tract, but they differ in terms of location, symptoms, and treatment approaches.
Ulcerative Colitis primarily affects the colon (large intestine) and rectum, with inflammation limited to the inner lining. Common symptoms include abdominal pain, bloody diarrhea, urgency to defecate, and fatigue. In contrast, Crohn’s Disease can affect any part of the digestive tract—from the mouth to the anus—and may involve deeper layers of the bowel wall. It often presents with abdominal cramps, diarrhea, weight loss, and nutritional deficiencies.
