Why did zachary taylor the 12th president have so many stomach issues???
Back then, and to some people today, one’s digestion and bowel action were the most important indicators of one’s health. The most common medicine taken was laxatives. Taylor’s digestion issues may have been from ulcers, but people didn’t know what those were, and of course, there was no cure. There has been speculation for a long time that Zack was poisoned, but he was disinterred back in the 90s and tested for the most common poisons, but the results were that Zachary Taylor was NOT poisoned with any poison used in the mid-19th century.
