    This condition causes long-lasting inflammation and ulcers (sores) in the innermost lining of the large intestine (colon) and rectum.

Causes of IBD

Genetics

IBD is more common in people who have family members with the disease.

Certain environmental factors, such as diet and smoking, may increase the risk of IBD.
