A woman who was once too nervous to talk about her symptoms was left "skin and bone" and sent straight to hospital by her GP.
Megan McNeill noticed she had been passing blood when going to the bathroom and having spells of diarrhoea around four years ago. Megan, from Northern Ireland, said she was too embarrassed to tell her mum, given the nature of her symptoms.
The 21-year-old had to undergo emergency surgery after her body began to shut down. She came out of the surgery with a stoma bag and "a huge amount of shock".
