IBS is not IBD

IBS = irritable bowel syndrome

IBD = inflammatory bowel disease

IBD includes conditions such as ulcerative colitis and Cohn's disease

IBS and IBD are very different in mechanism and symptoms

For those of you who have decided to down vote, the person I'm replying to edited their post silently. It previously did not contain the acronym "IBD" but rather "IBS"
This is absolutely true I was throttled and some stalkers flag and hide my posts replying to you trying to confirm this which is unbelievably gross. :/

I hope you see this I'm sorry if it bummed you out. My apologies.
