    Patients with IBD are at increased risk of developing intestinal cancer and celiac disease, and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) is more common in people with IBD than in healthy people.[1][2][3]

    Eczema is more common in people with IBD than in those without, and IBD is also associated with higher rates of multiple sclerosis.[4][5]
