Although Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis share similarities, they have a few major differences. Both are inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and are felt to be autoimmune diseases (where the body’s own immune system attacks the intestines). Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are relatively common. In fact, the Centers for Disease Control reported in 2015 that up to 1.3% of US adults have been diagnosed with IBD, which means there are about 4 million adults with IBD in the US! Chances are if you are not familiar with these conditions from personal experience, you at least know someone who is.
