It's inflammation of your "gut" anywhere from your colon to your esophogus.
It causes chronic diarhea, nausea/vomitting, internal bleeding, arthritis, rashes, fatigue, weight loss among other nasty symptoms.
There's no known cure, only treatment. No one know exactly why people get it.

Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are similar — so similar that they're often mistaken for one another. Both inflame the lining of your digestive tract, and both can cause severe bouts of watery or bloody diarrhea and abdominal pain. But Crohn's disease can occur anywhere in your digestive tract, often spreading deep into the layers of affected tissues. Ulcerative colitis, on the other hand, usually affects only the innermost lining of your large intestine (colon) and rectum.
