Honestly, the choice of photo is what I find most baffling of all. From the looks of things, there’s a lot more than just flatulence in those, and she’s probably been shitting blood too, which would fit with the reports that she needed medical attention. But for some strange reason, the article never mentioned either of those.

Also… can the OP tag this as NSFW or something? Seeing somebody’s bowel products does a number on my appetite. I’ve skipped entire meals before as a consequence.
