Lots of studies!: The exact cause of inflammatory bowel disease remains unknown. Previously, diet and stress were suspected, but now doctors know that these factors may aggravate but don't cause IBD. One possible cause is an immune system malfunction. Hereditary factors also contribute to the development of the disease. It is very likely that in the next 20 years there will be huge advancements in this field.
