– how does your body manage to keep in all the feces in the case of extreme constipation?

Ever since I learned that Elvis died with more than 30 lbs of feces in his body all I can think of is….. how???? Assuming a person is continuing to eat day after day, how can you continue to put things in and have nothing come out? I don’t understand why your body wouldn’t force you to expel what’s in your system (well before 30lbs) one way or another?

After I underwent surgery where a section of my colon was removed, I went from a taking a good, satisfying dump multiple time per day, to essentially nothing at all except rabbit pellets 8 to 10 times a day.

I gained quite a bit of weight and my belly grew quite distended. It got to the point where, on to of daily stool softener, I had to drink a bottle of CitroMag once a week and blow things out like I was prepping for a colonoscopy.

One week I did an experiment: I downed a bottle of CitroMag, and before thing got explosive, I jumped on the scale. After a violent hour and a half on the toilet, I got on the scale again. I’d “lost” more than SIX POUNDS.

The part that really shocks me is that previous weeks had seemed like far more horror show had occurred. I have no idea what the largest voided volume actually was.
