What is the difference between Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis?

What are the symptoms of IBS?

IBS symptoms vary from person to person but can include abdominal pain, bloating, gas, diarrhea, and constipation. The symptoms are often triggered by certain foods or stress.

What is the difference between food intolerance and celiac disease?

Food intolerance is an adverse reaction to a specific food, but it doesn't involve the immune system. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that is triggered by gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. It causes damage to the small intestine.

How often should I get screened for bowel cancer?

The frequency of bowel cancer screening depends on your individual risk factors. Generally, adults aged 50 and over should have a colonoscopy every 10 years. People with a family history of bowel cancer may need to be screened more frequently. It's best to discuss your individual needs with your doctor.
