As a result, the immune system instead attacks the cells in the body, and this is often called an autoimmune response [40]. The age range that often experiences inflammatory bowel disease is between 10 years and 35 years.…”

Identification of inflammatory bowel disease quickly and accurately is motivated by the large number of patients who come with pain in the abdomen and receive minimal treatment because they are considered to be just ordinary abdominal pain. This study aims to identify inflammatory bowel disease which is still considered by some people as a common stomach ache quickly, and precisely and to recommend therapy that can be done as an initial treatment before getting medical action by medical personnel. The method used in this expert system research is a combination of forward chaining and certainty factors. The forward chaining method traces the disease forward starting from a set of facts adjusted to a hypothesis that leads to conclusions, while the certainty factor method is used to confirm a hypothesis by measuring the amount of trust in concluding the process of detecting inflammatory bowel disease. The results of this study are a conclusion from the process of identifying inflammatory bowel disease which begins with selecting the symptoms experienced by the patient so that the diagnosis results appear using forward chaining and certainty factor in the form of a percentage along with therapy that can be given to the patient to reduce pain in the abdomen. A comparison of the diagnosis results using the system and diagnosis by experts, in this case, specialist doctors, shows an accuracy rate of 82,18%, which means that the expert system diagnosis results can be accounted for and follow the expert diagnosis.
