How is ulcerative colitis different from Crohn’s disease?
Both ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease cause inflammation of the intestine and can cause similar symptoms; however, the two diseases are very different. Crohn’s disease can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract — the small intestine, large intestine, or colon. Ulcerative colitis, however, affects only the colon or large intestine.
