Several years ago, Brooke Gottlieb started having a plethora of gastrointestinal digestive issues that baffled her doctors. In high school at the time, Gottlieb was a competitive lacrosse player. She was used to dealing with sore muscles, bruises, and joint pain.
Her tummy troubles began after she had a serious concussion playing lacrosse. But it took her and her parents several years to realize that the stomach issues were actually connected to the brain injury.
