Cara Bowman from Brookhaven, Mississippi, USA has lived with severe abdominal pain, nausea, and bloating for years. After months of struggling, she was diagnosed with gastroparesis, a condition where the stomach becomes paralysed, making it difficult to digest food. As a result, Cara was unable to properly process food, requiring a pacemaker to help her stomach function. Despite the challenges, including a year-long dependence on IV nutrients, the pacemaker has brought relief, allowing her to enjoy small meals and regain her appetite for the first time in years.
