While both conditions affect the bowel, there are some key differences between IBD vs IBS – here's what you need to know
IBS and IBD are two separate conditions that affect the bowel, with some essential similarities and differences. IBD includes a pair of structural autoimmune diseases: ulcerative colitis and crohn's disease, both of which cause inflammation and damage within the bowel. They may require surgical intervention and hospital stays in severe examples of the condition.
“IBS is a functional condition affecting the gastrointestinal tract which gives rise to a wide range of unpleasant symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, passing wind, diarrhea and constipation,” explains Dr Deborah Lee , MD. “The exact cause of the condition is not well understood, but there is miscommunication in the gut-brain axis. The bowel becomes hypersensitive to certain foods.
Although we aren’t entirely sure why hair loss is associated with IBD, a study in the Word Journal of Gastroenterology found it to be a common symptom. IBD can also trigger secondary autoimmune conditions in those who have it, according to another World Journal of Gastroenterology study. “IBS-C refers to where constipation is prevalent and IBS-D refers to diarrhea as the main symptom and with IBS-B , it's a combination of both. Regardless of type, it is still important to rule out other conditions such as coeliac disease and inflammatory bowel disease as many of the symptoms overlap.”
