BOTOMAN, M.D. North Broward Hospital District Family Practice Program of the University of South Florida, Coral Springs, Florida A patient information handout on living with inflammatory bowel disease , written by the authors of this article, is provided on page 71. I nflammatory bowel disease encompasses a number of chronic, relapsing inflammatory disorders involving the gastrointestinal tract. The prevalence of these disorders ranges from 20 to 200 per 100,000 U.S. population. It is estimated that more than 600,000 people in the United States have some form of inflammatory bowel disease. Classically, inflammatory bowel disease includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Ulcerative colitis typically presents with shallow, continuous inflammation extending from the rectum proximally to include, in many patients, the entire colon. Fistulas, fissures, abscesses and small-bowel involvement are absent. Patients with limited disease (e.g., proctitis) typically have mild but frequently recurrent symptoms, while patients with pancolitis more commonly have severe symptoms, often requiring hospitalization. Unlike ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease can involve the entire intestinal tract, from the mouth to the anus, with discontinuous focal ulceration, fistula formation and perianal involvement. The terminal ileum is most commonly affected, usually with variable degrees of colonic involvement. Subsets of patients have perianal disease with fissures and fistula formation. Only 2 to 3 percent of patients with Crohn's disease have clinically significant involvement of the upper gastrointestinal tract.

For regularly updated information on a variety of health topics, please visit familydoctor.org , the AAFP patient education Web site. Learning to Live with Inflammatory Bowel Disease What is inflammatory bowel disease? Inflammatory bowel disease is the name of a group of disorders that cause the intestines to become inflamed (red and swollen). The inflammation lasts a long time and usually comes back over and over again. More than 600,000 Americans have some kind of inflammatory bowel disease every year. If you have inflammatory bowel disease, you may have abdominal cramping and pain, diarrhea, weight loss and bleeding from your intestines. Two kinds of inflammatory bowel disease are Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Crohn's disease usually causes ulcers (open sores) all along the length of the small and large intestines. Crohn's disease either spares the rectum, or causes inflammation or infection with drainage around the rectum. Ulcerative colitis usually causes ulcers in the lower part of the large intestine, often starting at the rectum. What causes inflammatory bowel disease?

Volume 1 I nflammatory bowel disease is the primary cause of gastrointestinal problems in both dogs and cats. Chronic vomiting in cats and persistent diarrhea in dogs can be attributed to inflammatory bowel disease. Very often when a pet owner changes pet foods the pet, dog or cat, develops diarrhea and sometimes vomiting. This is not necessarily the pet food, but rather a subclinical form of inflammatory bowel disease. IBD is precipitated by food allergies, intolerences, bacteria, and parasites. Bacterial infections and intestinal parasites are easily diagnosed and treated with antibiotics and anthelmintics, respectively will usually eliminate the conditions. On the other hand, IBD when caused by food allergies or intolerances is much more difficult to treat and prevent. Food allergies can be caused by the animal proteins themselves. Most pets are allergic to horsemeat, some to beef, turkey, chicken, and most pets will tolerate lamb. There are other substances in pet foods that can initiate IBD, these being chemical preservatives and color enhancers. The current veterinary approach to the treatment of IBD is feeding expensive hypoallergenic diets, the administration of cortisone, antibiotics, and antidiarrheal medications. This scenario does not eliminate the problem but is a futile effort to control the disease or a

The mucous membranes lining the colon become inflamed and develop ulcers, causing bloody diarrhea, pain, gas, bloating, and sometimes hard stools. Included within the area of inflammatory bowel is ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Both involve most of the same symptoms. However, ulcerative colitis is limited to the mucosa and submucosa, which are the first two layers of the lining of the bowel. Crohn's disease involves those two layers and also the next two layers below, the muscular layer and the connective tissue layer. The factors causing the two problems appear to be parallel. Since so many similarities exist the details of differences are not covered here.

49. Inflammatory Bowel Disease can develop problems or diseases. inflammatory bowel disease is an ongoing illness caused by an inflammation of the intestines. http://kidshealth.org/teen/diseases_conditions/digestive/ibd.html

KidsHealth Teens Digestive System Digestive problems are among the most common conditions affecting Americans today. There are many different types of digestive problems, from gastrointestinal infections that make a person miserable but pass quickly to long-term illnesses like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). IBD is a general term that refers to illnesses that cause chronic inflammation in the intestines. If you're having diarrhea, stomach cramps, and other symptoms that make you question your digestion, you may want to learn more about the digestive system and IBD, as well as other digestive conditions. What Is IBD? The digestive system is the set of organs that digest food and absorb the important nutrients your body needs to stay healthy and grow. Two of the major parts of the digestive system are the small and large intestines. Just like other organs in your body, the intestines can develop problems or diseases. IBD (which is not the same thing as irritable bowel syndrome, or IBS), can cause more serious problems than just diarrhea and pain. IBD may also cause a delay in puberty or growth problems for some teens with the condition, because it can interfere with a person getting nutrients from the foods he or she eats.

Home Health Holistic M.D. Inflammatory Bowel Disease Update by Ronald Hoffman, M.D. Conscious Choice, January 1997 Ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease are two conditions that have many features in common and are sometimes referred to as "inflammatory bowel disease" (IBD). While not as common as less severe conditions like "irritable bowel syndrome," Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis now afflict hundreds of thousands of Americans. They appear to be increasing in frequency. Crohn's disease was once a very rare disorder but it is gradually becoming more common. There are about twice as many cases of it today as there were 30 years ago. Moreover, these conditions are increasingly afflicting children and teenagers. Symptoms include periodic attacks of cramps, abdominal pain and diarrhea and a general sense of feeling ill. There may be fever, loss of appetite, and weight loss. Especially in ulcerative colitis there may be rectal bleeding, diarrhea, and mucous in the stool. These symptoms sometimes begin insidiously, gradually worsening, or sometimes they begin all at once with great severity. These conditions must be diagnosed by a physician, usually a specialist in gastroenterology. The rectum and large intestine may be examined by sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy. A biopsy specimen from the intestinal wall will probably be taken during one of these tests. Or an air-contrast barium enema or upper GI swallow with follow-through lower gastrointestinal x-rays may be given. A proper evaluation for inflammatory bowel disease will usually include stool tests to rule out parasite infection which can easily mimic ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease, and blood tests to test the severity of the inflammation and blood loss.

51. The Winn Feline Foundation - Health Article Brief introduction to gastrointestinal disorders in general, moving to discussion of methods to diagnose IBD and subsequent treatment. http://www.winnfelinehealth.org/health/ibd.html

A Winn Foundation Health Article On ... Inflammatory Bowel Disease in the Cat Susan Little, DVM Diplomate ABVP (Feline) G astrointestinal disorders are among the most common problems encountered in feline medicine. Most vomiting and diarrhea episodes occur suddenly and resolve quickly. The causes are usually benign, such as eating an unfamiliar food. However, some patients may have vomiting and/or diarrhea over a period of weeks to months. In the diagnosis of these chronic disorders, the first step is to rule out other causes by using blood tests, stool examinations, x-rays and possibly other tests. Veterinarians will want to ensure that the patient is not suffering from an illness such as chronic kidney failure, pancreatitis, or hyperthyroidism which can also cause vomiting and diarrhea. When all non-gastrointestinal illnesses are eliminated, the various gastrointestinal disorders need to be considered. Among these are Ollulanus tricuspis (stomach worm infection), Helicobacter infection (a bacterial infection of the stomach), inflammatory bowel disease, colitis, and intestinal lymphoma. Of these, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is by far the most common. IBD is actually a group of gastrointestinal disorders, usually chronic in nature, which are characterized by an increase in the number of inflammatory cells found in the lining of the stomach or intestinal tract. These changes can affect the function of the organ involved. The causes of IBD are variable, and often no single cause can be identified in a given patient. The symptoms include chronic vomiting, diarrhea, or both, and in some cases, weight loss and change in appetite. Some patients may defecate outside their litter box, especially if diarrhea is present. The symptoms may be cyclical in nature, with the cat appearing to be normal at times. It is not unusual for these patients to be misdiagnosed as having hairballs.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease What Causes IBD? How Do I Know if I Have Ulcerative Colitis? Does Ulcerative Colitis Increase the Risk of Colon Cancer? What is the Treatment for IBD? ... Additional Reading Digestion of food begins in the mouth and moves through the esophagus, stomach, and the small and large intestine. In the mouth, stomach, and the small intestine, food is mixed with digestive juices. The digestive juices break the food down into smaller chemical pieces or nutrients. These nutrients move along the small intestine, which is made up of three parts: the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. The nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream through the small intestine and carried to all parts of the body. Nutrients are needed for the body to grow and remain healthy. The water and solid waste that remain after the nutrients are absorbed move into the large intestine. Most of the remaining water is absorbed into the bloodstream from the colon. The solid waste is passed out of the body as a bowel movement (BM) through the anus. What Causes IBD The cause(s) of IBD are not known, but there are several theories. One theory is based on genetics indicating that IBD does run in families. About 15 percent to 30 percent of patients with IBD have a relative with the disease. There is research going on to find out if a specific gene or a group of genes makes a person more susceptible to getting the disease.
