– 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?

I remember spending about 13 days without poop. From my experience, your body will push it out, assuming drugs are not involved, but it takes a lot of effort and an unpleasant process.

In my case, I spent a long time at the hospital and they kept asking if I was able to move my bowls, I didn’t know what bowls meant at the time. As days rolled, I was moved to the rehab center for physical therapy. During day 4-ish (maybe?) I decided to put an end to the urge to poop that keeps coming but nothing coming out. I remember it was difficult and I sweated a shit ton. But I kept holding my walker while making progress. Eventually but surly, I felt this stiff and slow release dropping down my skinny body like I dropped an organ.
