Symptoms of Inflammatory Bowel Disease can include severe diarrhea, abdominal pain, fatigue, and weight loss. It can be debilitating and lead to life-threatening complications. Inflammatory Bowel Disease is a combination of bacteria, viruses, or antigens that triggers the body’s immune system to react with inflammation in the intestinal tract.
