Abstract
A 39-year-old female was diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease unclassified (IBD-U) in 2011, during the post-partum period, after developing chronic bloody diarrhea and marked weight loss. She underwent colonoscopy showing erosive ileitis and pancolitis. Biopsies were compatible with unspecified chronic ileocolitis.
