: Your stools will vary in color and consistency depending on what food, medication and liquids you have taken in. If you have swallowed some food whole, they may appear whole in the stool. Tomatoes with their skins, whole corn kernels, rice come to mind. A few days later your stool should be familiar in appearance.
