IBD vs IBS: Understanding the Key Differences
While both Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) cause abdominal pain and irregular bowel movements, they are very different conditions. IBS is a functional disorder meaning there is no physical damage to the digestive tract. IBD (including Crohn's and Ulcerative Colitis) is a serious inflammatory disease causing visible sores and structural damage.
Homeopathic Care and Support
Homeopathy serves as a gentle supportive therapy for IBD to help reduce flare frequency, while acting as a primary constitutional therapy for functional IBS triggers. Remedies are selected according to individual mental and physical symptoms.
