During her teens, Maria Menna Perper, 42, a New Jersey biochemist, suffered intestinal problems around the time of her period. By her late 30s, she felt "excruciating, burning pain" in her colon every month "like clockwork." Eventually the pain became continuous, and it was impossible for her to work or even sit down...
