Inflammatory bowel disease
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may have symptoms, including unexpected weight loss. IBD refers to a variety of gastrointestinal tract inflammatory diseases that are chronic in nature. Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are the two most prevalent varieties. Your body enters a catabolic condition as a result of the chronic inflammation caused by IBD, which causes it to constantly burn through energy. The appetite and satiety hormones ghrelin and leptin are both disturbed by IBD. Reduced appetite and weight reduction follow from this; It’s hard to eat well with symptoms like nausea and belly pain. When you have no appetite, you may eat fewer of the calories and nutrients that you need to maintain your weight.
