When I was a kid, my mom nearly died from "colitis". She was hospitalized for a long time, and had three surgeries on her bowels, removing her large intestine and bypassing it.
Now, there are diagnoses of Crohns, SIBO, and other gut-autoimmune disorders that aren't super well understood but there are treatments and and diagnoses now that might have prevented a lot of suffering for a lot of people.
But yeah, her colon almost ruptured because the Dr couldn't find anything wrong. My dad had to take her to another hospital, far away just to be taken seriously.
