undigested food in stool

Very much so, especially in people with loose stools or diarrhea.  Even normal people may see food particles in their stools every once in a while; I think it's when the stools get loose that you see what's been hiding inside all this time! 

Good, I am glad I am not the only one.  Is there things you shouldn't be able to see?  Maybe that is the best way to put it.

The funny thing is, I do chew my food a lot!!!!  My husband always makes fun of me b/c I take twice as long to eat my meal...I make fun of him though b/c he chews two times and swallows...no lie. 

I had a very "colorful" meal yesterday and am practically having rainbow poops. So yes, it's normal! Granted, my bowels are nowhere near normal, but hey, the rainbow colors at least are fun to look at.

Sorry, I'm in a weird mood tonight, LOL.

Also remember that insoluable fiber is not absorbed by the body and it's not really digested either, so things like the skins of apples and bell peppers will show up in your poop pretty much looking like it did when you swallowed it. That's why people see corn--the hulls are insoluable fiber.

The only thing you should not see in your stool is blood. Bright red blood usually indicates hemmroid, but dark blood can indicate intestinal bleeding or a stomach ulcer. But make sure you don't confuse red Kool-Aid poops with blood in your stools (ask me how I know this).

old thead..but common problem...so last night I was in a rush, ate a bag of steamable vegetables and went on my way to class. I had the most uncomfortable time, gurgling stomach, pain, bloated. Excused myself for a minor BM. Back to class. And the issues continued. Afterwards I rushed home thinking I had to go. Just one large gas release, nothing in stool. Arg!! This morning I go and it all comes out..I see half whole carrots strips from the steamable bag.

so now I'm wondering, was the soft, cooked, carrot strips inside my colon, that I obviously didn't chew enough, causing the problem. thoughts? Do you feel poorly prior to undigested food coming out?
