Inlfammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) represents a number of conditions principally Ulcerative Colitis (U.C.) and Crohn's Disease (C.D.)

The symptoms commonly include diarrhoea and rectal bleeding but also include a variable amount of absominal pain, mucus in the stool etc.

 There are also a number of 'extra-intestinal' manifestations of disease i.e. association conditions which affect other organs apart from the bowel.

Medical Treatment of IBD

There are a number of treatment options...details will be posted soon.

Strictly speaking constipation is a symptom rather than a disease itself.

 It is however so common and in most cases is just utterly miserable but in some cases it can lead to severe consequences that we have given it a section of this website.

There are a multitude of diseases, drugs and conditions that can give rise to constipation and it is important to investigate according to symptoms which mean, in most cases, a visit to see your family doctor.
