Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are two forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
   
More than 200,000 Canadian men, women and children suffer from IBD
   
The incidence of Crohn's and colitis in Canada is thought to be among the highest in the world
   
Though inflammatory bowel disease can strike at any age, it usually appears between the ages of 15 and 25, or later between 45 and 55
   
Crohn's and colitis are painful and chronic diseases characterized by inflammation and sores on the gastrointestinal wall, both diseases go into periods of "flare-up" and remission
   
Despite significant differences, both Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are unpredictable, with inflammations ranging from mild and easily manageable to severe and debilitating
   
Symptoms associated with Crohn's and colitis include severe diarrhea, abdominal cramps, weight loss, decreased appetite, extreme fatigue, nausea. Youngsters may experience a slower growth rate than peers.
   
Neither drugs nor surgery can cure Crohn's disease, but removal of the colon can completely eliminate ulcerative colitis
   
THERE IS NO KNOWN CAUSE OR CURE FOR CROHN'S DISEASE OR ULCERATIVE COLITIS
