Keriorrhea is the production of greasy, orange-colored stools which results from the consumption of indigestible wax esters found in oilfish and escolar. [1] [2]
The escolar's wax ester content can cause keriorrhea (Greek: flow of wax), also called gempylotoxism or gempylid fish poisoning. [4] Symptoms range from stomach cramps to rapid loose bowel movements, occurring 30 minutes to 36 hours following consumption. [5] This condition may also be referred to as steatorrhea. [6]

Fillets from these fish species contain up to 20% fat, where 90% of the fat comes as wax ...

Unlike tuna, escolar is associated with keriorrhea and severe cramping following consumption. [91] In many restaurants, most fish labeled as tuna, white tuna, or albacore are mislabeled escolar. [92] [93] Due to the wide array of options in the seafood marketplace, seafood is far more susceptible to mislabeling than terrestrial food. [77]
