gas lock disease

The disease is known as Gastro-Lock Syndrome, a hyper-aggressive viral infection that forces the body into a localized "system purge" loop. Symptoms: The primary symptom is Bilateral Evacuation. The virus targets the lining of the stomach and the lower intestines simultaneously with zero downtime. Patients suffer from "non-stop transit," where the body attempts to expel fluids at such a high frequency that the individual is effectively tethered to a toilet and a trash can. The diarrhea is explosive and constant, while the vomiting is triggered by even a sip of water, creating a relentless cycle of dehydration and cramping. Physical Toll: Within hours, the patient experiences Abdominal Collapse. The muscles of the core become so fatigued from constant retching and straining that they enter a state of permanent spasm. Because the "purge" never hits a refractory period, the patient cannot leave the bathroom without immediate, messy consequences. Treatment: There is no quick fix. Patients must be placed on a continuous IV drip for hydration and electrolytes, as oral intake is impossible. The virus typically burns out after 48 hours, but the psychological trauma of being "locked" to the porcelain remains much longer.
