Both the small and large intestine are affected by inflammation and are characteristics of autoimmune disease; IBD. In this disease, body’s own immune system attacks the elements of the digestive system. This inflammation encompasses two major forms of diseases, ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease.

Moreover, other defects like intestinal epithelial barrier function decline are also observed. In this review paper the types and symptoms of IBD are described.
