Ms. Lori, are you asking us how to pronounce the word? Please let me know.
Thank you
 
It is a short definition of the word.
I am simply sharing terminology not asking you to code this.
Ileocolitis is the most common type of Crohn’s disease. It causes inflammation in the end of the small intestine (known as the ileum) and the colon (large intestine).
