It was a quiet Tuesday evening when 28-year-old Sarah Thompson sat in the emergency room clutching her mother’s hand, tears streaming down her face as the doctor slid the X-ray image onto the light board. Sarah had been suffering for years from what everyone around her dismissed as “just stress” or “normal girl problems” — constant bloating, painful cramps, extreme fatigue that no amount of sleep could fix, and chronic constipation that had slowly taken over her life. She had tried every over-the-counter remedy, changed her diet countless times, and even stopped going out with friends because the discomfort was…
