    The wikipedia entry regarding this is very short. I read some other articles about it and the consensus seems to be that is is a very rare occurrence, but it makes me wonder if occurrences like this happen to a lesser degree and are never diagnosed. I feel like there's a lot not fully understood yet about gastrointestinal dynamics.
