Abdominal pain, cramping, fatigue, skin ulcers, constipation, joint pain and unintentional weight loss are some of the signs of an inflammatory bowel disorder. Finding the right care for your inflammatory bowel disorder can be difficult and time consuming. These disorders arise when your immune system has an abnormal response to the gastrointestinal tract, often causing severe inflammation and discomfort.
