A severe, temporarily debilitating bowel condition which can have dire
consequences for any and all parties involved.
E.D. is usually caused by the
consumption of excessively spicy or
rich foods and, often, alcohol. Symptoms include:
1. Unexpected and odd-sounding bowel movements
2. The feeling of immediate urgency to find a toilet
3. The passing of large amounts of liquid faeces, usually accompanied by large amounts of gas.
E.D. is often a worrying experience. On release of the pent-up gas, the contents of the rectum are projected with speed out of the anus and into the toilet pan. The force of this release is often remarkable, and large amounts of liquid faeces can be sprayed over a surprising area of porcelain.
Needless to say, E.D. is not a condition which is convenient to develop when you are A) camping, or B) in someone else's restaurant, or C) in a public lavatory.
There is no known remedy for the symptoms of E.D., except to avoid eating spicy food in the first place.
