– 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?

Oh you can keep in lots of feces! My nephew would not poop from a very young age. His parents didn’t realize he was holding in his poops. When he was three he shit out an eggplant sized poop at my house, I learned then what a poop knife was.
So basically, he was afraid to poop and held it in. His colon stretched to accommodate that extra bulk. He had accidents and still does because liquid will always find a way out. Oh and he is 17.
