Via sparkrobot, beware the escolar, a cause of “Oily Orange Diarrhea”.
This has actually happened to me before. Like after most episodes of oily, brightly hued muck discharged from my anus, I chalked it up to a life experience, and felt like a better person as a result.

Once agin, Mr Guilty Carnivore, you have done your readers an important service.
The dangers of ESCOLAR are not well documented.
My wife (a young and vibrant woman) is a successful professional eater. Earlier this summer, while we were traveling out west (I am a retired “educator” with time on my hands and my wife owns a luxury motorhome) we came upon a ESCOLAR eating contest at a Best Western in Durango Colorado.
My lovely wife entered the contest and came in second — despite a valient effort –having eaten over 16 pounds of ESCOLAR in 10 minutes!
Afterward, we repaired to our very disappointing room at the Best Western (stank of cigarette smoke, if you must know) where my wife had hardly made it to the bathroom to purge when IT happened.
IT being Explosive Oily Orange Diarrhea!! Much like mixing Tang powder with canola oil, if that excites you.
My wife (also a PhD, like me) was completely debilitated for hours on end by these uncontrollable and foul smelling bowel movements, a situation only compunded by the Best Western’s staff cavalier response to my pleas for more toilet paper.
She was later loaded into an ambulance and admitted to a local “clinic” where people seek medical care. We will forever be indebted to the Durango Aquarium’s generous loan of the whale sling, by the way.
At the clinic, Dr. Natura, a noted gastroenterologist, explained that ESCOLAR contains massive amounts of oily orange waxy material that most humans find impossible to digest and that results in uncontrollable orane diarrhea. Why this was not explained to the contestants, I do not know.
I have written many letters to the editor and posted on many “blogs” concerning the dangers of ESCOLAR. Still, I am ignored or considered a “crackpot” for these warnings. If you still need confirmation regarding the dangers of ESCOLAR, please check the informative website of the very attractive Dr. Natura. http://www.drnatura.com/?gclid=CPPIsv6fw40CFSBMGgodPEFqLQ

people taking Alli diet pill are experiencing the same problem. Something about the drug altering the fat making it undigestible so therefore you get leaky orange oily ass.
I think I’d rather be fat.

After eating a pile of beets in a wine reduction at Papa Hyden’s last year, I shit bright red for 2 days to make diverticulitis look like kindergarten…
Then again, maybe I have ass cancer…

omg, I thought I was dying. Then I read this and realized that I had the most wonderful meal of Escolar last Friday at lunch. Is this the trade off for a great meal??
glad I read this. Maybe I’ll live.
