A member asked:
I haven't eaten corn in weeks and just had a bowel movement with corn. is that normal?

While it is not normal, it is not a cause for concern either. You may have a few diverticula in your colon and a corn kernel could have been retained in that.

yes, the presence of the corn in your bowel movement is normal. The human digestive system is unable to break down or digest the corn protein. So what you see is nothing to be concerned about.
