Dr. John Munshower answered

Specializes in Family Medicine

Not necessarily: Many food products, especially those with a a hard seed covering such as sesame seeds can be hard to digest and will often be seen in ones stool. Corn kernels are another example of a food often seen in the stool. Hope this helps.
