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

556 views

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?

He was also a heavy opiate user which comes with massive constipation.
So I wouldn’t say it was his body stopping him from expelling it all out. It was all the drugs.
Opiates slow down your intestines which causes more water to get pulled out of your feces. So continued drug use just causes hard rocks to build up in there.
