Скачать или смотреть What is the difference between IBS and IBD

They sound almost identical, but the difference lies in the very first letter.

IBS and IBD are frequently confused, but they are completely different conditions.

Here is the clue to telling them apart:

The 'I' in IBS stands for Irritable.

IBS is a functional disorder.

This means if you look at the gut on a scan, it looks normal, there is no visible disease or damage.
However, it isn't functioning correctly, often due to a sensitive connection between the brain and the gut.

The 'I' in IBD stands for Inflammatory.

IBD (like Crohn’s or Colitis) is an autoimmune condition.

In this case, the immune system attacks the gut, causing visible inflammation, sores, and ulcers that can be seen on medical tests.

The Red Flags: Because IBS is functional, it does not cause physical damage.

If you have blood in your stool or unexplained weight loss, this is not typical for IBS, and you need to see a doctor immediately.
