Let’s not forget her stomach issues. Dolly has talked about having acid reflux and irritable bowel syndrome, which she jokingly blames on “years of eating too many southern-fried cravings on the road.” She once said, “I have the digestive system of a possum that ate a bad apple pie.” Her solution? She cut back on spicy food and dairy, but she refuses to give up her comfort foods entirely. “If I can’t have a chicken-fried steak every now and then, what’s the point of being famous?” she quipped. She also swears by drinking warm water with lemon first thing in the morning—which, let’s be honest, is probably the only sensible health tip she’s ever followed.
