Gastroenterologists at Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital at NYU Langone provide specialized care for children with ulcerative colitis. This is a type of inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, in which a chronic or recurring inflammation affects the intestines. Though symptoms of this condition—such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and fatigue—are similar to those of Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis can require different types of treatment.
