Iinflammatory bowel disease prevention:
No known dietary or lifestyle change prevents the development of inflammatory bowel disease.
Dietary manipulation may help symptoms in persons with ulcerative colitis, and it actually may help reduce inflammation in Crohn disease (see Self-care at home). However, there is no evidence that consuming or avoiding any particular food item causes or avoids flare-ups of IBD.
Smoking cessation is the only lifestyle change that may benefit persons with Crohn disease. Smoking has been linked to increases in the number and severity of flare-ups of Crohn disease. Smoking cessation occasionally is sufficient to make a person with refractory (not responding to treatment) Crohn disease go into remission.

The Cause of Inflammatory bowel disease Genetic, infectious, immunologic, and psychological factors have all been implicated in influencing the development of IBD.
The Symptoms of Inflammatory bowel disease The most common symptoms of IBD are diarrhea and abdominal pain. Ulcerative colitis usually causes rectal bleeding, as well. Crohn's disease also may cause rectal bleeding, but less often than does ulcerative colitis.
