DESPERATE to end the extreme bloating and crippling pain she had suffered for years, Sarah Garlick accepted extreme measures. Aged just 40, she underwent a hysterectomy which plunged her into surgical menopause. The now 46-year-old was so sick of being “fobbed off by doctors” who had misdiagnosed her with irritable bowel syndrome, and felt she had no choice but to have the op.

However, when Sarah, from Portishead, Bristol, recovered from the hysterectomy and her symptoms returned, she realised the drastic measure that changed her life hadn’t solved her bloating problem at all.

JASON DORDAY/STUFF Auckland Council kauri dieback biosecurity manager Lisa Tolich explains why her council has been so proactive in protecting kauri. Kauri are some of New Zealand’s most important taonga – both ecologically and culturally. But the trees are being killed by incurable kauri dieback disease – caused by a pathogen called Phytophthora agathidicida – and the fight to save them has been slow and convoluted. Stuff senior journalist Denise Piper and visual journalist Jason Dorday investigate what is happening to save kauri while they still stand.
