Marathon runners can experience gastrointestinal issues, including bloody diarrhea. Emergency departments should consider ischemic colitis in these cases, especially after endurance events.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Sports Medicine
  • Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • Over 450,000 individuals completed marathons in the US in 2002.
  • Marathon running can lead to various gastrointestinal complaints.
  • Emergency departments (EDs) frequently manage these post-marathon issues.

Observation:

  • Three patients presented to the ED with abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea post-marathon.
  • These symptoms suggest potential gastrointestinal distress following strenuous physical activity.

Findings:

  • Ischemic colitis is a critical diagnosis to consider in marathon runners with bloody diarrhea.
  • Mesenteric ischemia can manifest as severe gastrointestinal symptoms after endurance events.

Implications:
