Summary: Kimberly Tessmer covers this important and often not spoke about problem. BD isn't a disease but rather the umbrella term for two major intestinal disorders that might sound more familiar: ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Both deal with inflammation in the digestive tract that can produce a wide range of unpleasant symptoms and lead to other health conditions. If you or a loved one are dealing with either of these conditions then you probably know that trying to control flare-ups--which bring on the symptoms--is the goal. Tessmer breaks down both of these conditions and provides reliable and practical advice on how eating right can help.
