Yes, there is a close link between rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis. Research has shown that people with RA are significantly more likely than those without RA to also have IBD. This suggests that autoimmune diseases like RA and IBD often overlap.
