Good thing C and I are addicted to drinking Benefiber! Don't want to end up like Elvis!
From Perez:
Elvis Presley's friend and physician Dr. George "Nick" Nichopoulos is claiming that the King may have died of chronic constipation!
OUCH!
Nichopoulos explains:
"We didn’t realize until the autopsy that his constipation was as bad – we knew it was bad because it was hard for us to treat, but we didn’t realize what it had done. We just assumed that the constipation was secondary to the meds that he was taking for his arthritic pain and for his insomnia."
The doc also believes that Elvis' weight gain near the end of his life is attributed to the constipation saying:
"It was really a physiological problem. During the last few years we were going back and comparing pictures, some of them were taken just two weeks a part but he looked like he’d gained 20 pounds when the only difference was that he had a good healthy bowel movement and then lost a lot of weight from that.
"Usually you pass it all in two or three days, but at the autopsy we found stool in his colon which had been there for four or five months because of the poor motility of the bowel."
Eeeeek!
