Inflammatory Bowel Disease Rising in India

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is becoming more common in India, especially in cities.

It's caused by eating too many processed foods and not enough fibre, which makes the intestines inflamed.

There are two main types: Crohn's disease, which can affect any part of the digestive tract, and ulcerative colitis, which only affects the large intestine.

People with IBD might have symptoms like chronic diarrhoea, stomach pain, feeling very tired, losing weight without trying, fever, joint pain, skin rashes, and even eye inflammation.

If you have these symptoms for more than two weeks, or if you have blood in your stool or severe stomach pain, you should see a doctor.

It's important to get help early to feel better and live a healthier life.
