Description
Team sport players have regular daily meals together when in competition. Meals are designed to provide a balanced nutritional diet to optimise recovery and performance. Time in camp can be long, and meal content is varied to prevent boredom and encourage consumption. An international female football player presented on the afternoon of an important away competitive match in the Netherlands, passing an odourless oily liquid, yellowish in colour, from the back passage on two occasions (figures 1 and 2). There was no abdominal pain. She was otherwise well. Further episodes of intermittent leakage continued, settling spontaneously after several hours. The previous evening, she had consumed a quantity of fish that had not been present at any prior evening meals.
