What is inflammatory bowel disease?
Inflammatory bowel disease refers to two different but related diseases.
Ulcerative colitis and Crohns disease are incurable chronic diseases of the intestinal tract.

Actually that is totally incorrect. The worst smelling gas I've ever had was when I was practicing vegetarianism. The beans gave me the worst gas. When I was eating almost all meat, I rarely had gas and when I did, it didn't smell. Now that I'm eating mostly vegetables I have smelly gas again.

Poop can be many different colors depending upon the kind of food that you are eating, as well as the speed and completeness of the process of digestion. Very dark poop can be perfectly normal, but black poop does suggest some abnormality, which would most likely involve some degree of internal bleeding, possibly from an ulcer, especially if you also have stomach pain, because blood, when it hardens, does turn black. If you feel no pain, I would guess that there is no problem. You are just eating food that contains dark colored material.
