So now they have to continue to try and determine what is going on.
Looking at it from a medical point of view, nothing secretive or conspiratorial or weird about that in the least.

In Pletcher's barn it's likely that Uncle Mo has long been on Gastroguard (or something similar) on a regular basis. For that reason, my initial reaction was that, if he's got something wrong in the GI tract, it must be something pretty serious. Does this follow, or are they completely unrelated?
