CONDITION AND TREATMENT OVERVIEW
Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) describes disorders that involve chronic inflammation of the digestive tract. There are two primary types of IBD:
- Ulcerative colitis involves inflammation and sores (ulcers) along the superficial lining of your large intestine (colon) and rectum.
- Crohn’s disease is characterized by inflammation of the lining of your digestive tract and can often involve the deeper layers of the digestive tract.
Both ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease usually are characterized by diarrhea, rectal bleeding, abdominal pain, fatigue and weight loss.
IBD can be debilitating and sometimes leads to life-threatening complications.
Anyone who has known someone suffering from Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis (UC) knows how painful and debilitating it can be. Since Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis patients have so little warning before needing to find a restroom, planning even the smallest outings can feel impossible. The disease’s agonizing bowel pain also makes it one that many sufferers keep to themselves.
Making matters worse, flare ups can feel completely incapacitating – often, Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis sufferers can’t even leave their bed during a flare up. It’s no wonder so many people with IBD have a high rate of depression in addition to their other symptoms.
While inflammatory bowel disease is a chronic autoimmune disorder with no permanent cure, there are treatments that provide relief from symptoms. Here’s how infusion therapy or injections for Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis can help calm symptoms and provide freedom.

What Is Inflammatory Bowel Disease?
An autoimmune disorder, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, is when the body causes inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract. The entire digestive system can be affected, resulting in symptoms such as:
- Pain in the bowels, intestine or colon
- Rectal bleeding, diarrhea, or constipation
- Feeling an urgent need to go to the bathroom
- Never feeling like a bowel movement is complete
- Reduced appetite and unintended weight loss
- Fatigue and iron deficiency
Unfortunately, the exact cause of Inflammatory Bowel Disease is unknown. But certain foods and environments can trigger flare ups, including:
- Excessive dairy, red meat or processed foods
- Stress
- Smoking, alcohol and caffeine
Each individual suffering from IBD typically keeps track of his or her personal triggers.
There is currently no permanent cure for Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis. However, infusion therapy for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis has proven to be an effective, convenient way to manage symptoms.
