A previously healthy 25-year-old man presented to the emergency department with acute-onset diffuse abdominal pain, which started halfway through a marathon run. Soon after presentation, he had a small amount of coffee-ground emesis and 10 – 15 loose bowel movements with hematochezia. His abdomen was diffusely tender to mild palpation. Laboratory investigation revealed leukocytosis, mild acute kidney injury, and rhabdomyolysis. Stool cultures for bacteria, ova and parasite, and Clostridium difficile were negative.
