Chronic Constipation Killed the King-Elvis “All Blocked Up”
Read Time:47 Second
Most assume drug dependency and obesity were the main players in Elvis Presley’s death, but the truth may actually be more embarrassing: The King was chronically constipated. His longtime doctor and friend George Nichopoulos writes about the problem in his new book, The King and Dr. Nick, revealing that Presley’s colon was twice as long and twice as wide as a normal colon at the time of his death, and that four- to five-month-old stool was found in it during the autopsy. The TMI continues, in a Fox News look at the book: Due to the treatments attempted for his constipation, Elvis would “have accidents onstage,” Nichopoulos writes. Even his bloated appearance can be explained by this little problem: Presley sometimes looked better, and that was because “he had a good healthy bowel movement and then lost a lot of weight from that.” Unfortunately, most of the time he was all blocked up.

Entering a new school, Milam, for sixth grade in September 1946, Presley was regarded as a loner. The following year, he began bringing his guitar in on a daily basis. He played and sang during lunchtime, and was often teased as a “trashy” kid who played hillbilly music. The family was by then living in a largely African-American neighborhood.-..
Please, just leave Elvis alone.
His symptoms were his hands were shaky and his knees were weak, couldn’t seem to stand on his own two feet. Who could he thank when he had such look? Doc said he was all shook up.
I’m itchin’ like a man on a fuzzy tree…I’m in love! Huh! I’m all blocked up!
Poor old Elvis, the intensive fame, so young, greedy manager, hangers on, momma’s boy, he didn’t have a chance.
True…
Actually, the drug addiction probably DID contribute to his death. One of the most persistent side effects of narcotic pain killers is constipation. And the fact that the poor bastard was probably taking 25-30 a day – that, too, was no doubt a major problem for him.
Bad advise, bad friends, all shook up.
Mike,
The King ain’t fulla crap. Glen Beck certainly. Not Elvis.
Agreed! I’m a big Elvis fan O-man!
