Poo nugget for Tuesday, Jan. 27: Déjà Poo (Poo of the Month) - Why Can't You Digest That Enormous Kernel Of Corn? While soluble fiber found in foods such as beans, nuts, and carrots forms a gel-like substance when mixed with stomach secretions, the insoluble fiber contained in oat bran and corn on the cob passes through the GI tract largely unchanged. Humans lack the necessary enzymes to digest certain components of plant cell walls. These insoluble fibers are therefor responsible for pieces of corn and other food particles that appear in poo, looking just like they did before you ate them. (you should see the picture for this one!)
