Not digestible food: It is not normal to poop what you eat with a few exceptions. If you eat nondigestible material like plastic or rubber, it will pass through essentially intact. If you eat vegetables like corn with tough skin and don't chew them well, some may pass nearly intact. Fistulas between the small and large bowel and other disorders can cause food to pass through intact. You should see a GI specialist.
