In ulcerative colitis, it will be bloody diarrhea. 00:33 You could find this in Crohn´s as well.

Any portion of GI. 00:50 Most common however would be the ileum, ileocecial region. 00:55 Hence, B12 deficiency and also enterohepatic circulation may be compromised. 01:02 Because of that transmural, you´ll have fistula formation and maybe perhaps even strictures due to ulceration that might be seen. 01:10 More abdominal pain, diarrhea, less bleeding than what you would expect to find with ulcerative colitis.
