A 39-year-old woman presents to the emergency department (ED) with diarrhea. She has a history of Crohn disease complicated by strictures, for which she underwent an extensive small bowel resection two weeks ago. Since her discharge, she has experienced persistent diarrhea, which has recently increased in volume. Today, she began feeling weak, prompting her visit to the ED.
