A member asked:
What would cause some foods, in this case watermelon and cantaloupe flesh (not seeds), to come out in stoma output just as it went in (undigested)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to say: But the most likely explanation is that especially those fruits are easy to eat and they were not chewed very well.
