Since you put it this way, I suppose it is not inconceivable that
such a condition might result from many years of consumption of
dairy products.  NeanderThin, as I recall, has a description of
how something rather like Elmer's Glue could result from the
attempted digestion of milk.  If such sludge could accumulate in
the colon, switching to a paleodiet might not immediately
dislodge it.
