I have to speak on this one IBS and IBD are NOT one and the same thing and
the terminology is NOT interchangeable. They are two totally separate health
issues.
IBS- irritable bowel syndrome and is considered a functional disorder a
motility problem where things move too slow or too fast...the water balance is
also off.
IBD-inflammatory bowel disease is considered an auto-immune response disease
and does require immune suppressants to control. The bodies immune system no
longer recognize self and is attacking the lining of the gut.
The fact that I have the human version of many different auto-immune
diseases I am very familiar. Please make sure you are using the correct
terminology. It does make a HUGE difference in treatment and prognosis for the animal
or person involved.
