AB  - A  37-year-old  woman  comes  to  your  clinic  for  "constipation,"  which  she  has  had  since  childhood.  She  states  that  a  work-up  by  her  pediatrician  turned  up  nothing.  She  reports  intermittent,  crampy  abdominal  pain  that  reaches  8  out  of  10  in  severity  and  is  relieved  "mostly"  by  a  bowel  movement.  She  has  a  bowel  movement  nearly  every  day,  but  her  stools  are  usually  hard.  When  the  pain  occurs,  her  stools  are  "really  hard."  She  was  recently  laid  off  from  her  job  and  has  noted  an  increase  in  her  abdominal  pain  and  hard  stools.
