Diverticulitis is inflammation of the digestive tract, while Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are types of inflammatory bowel disease affecting different parts of the GI tract.
Diverticulitis is an inflammation of the lining of the digestive tract, most commonly the small and large intestine. It occurs when tiny pouches in the wall of the large intestine become infected and inflamed, leading to symptoms like lower abdominal pain, fever, nausea, and changes in bowel habits.
Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are types of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that also affect the GI tract. Crohn's disease can occur anywhere along the digestive tract, while ulcerative colitis primarily affects the colon and rectum.
Both diverticulitis and Crohn's disease/ulcerative colitis are chronic conditions that involve inflammation of the GI tract and may require medication, dietary changes, or even surgery for management.
