A member asked:
Do you poop everything you eat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: If a person pooped everything she ate, all of her food and drink would run right through her, and she would quickly die of dehydration, even before she has a chance to die of malnutrition. Poop is normally the undigestible material left over after food and drink are thoroughly digested, mixed with billions of large bowel bacteria that live within us.
