Its the fibrous outside of the kernel that is in your feces. You body does not have the digestive enzymes to break down that part of the corn. When you chew up the corn and swallow it, the inside parts now become available for your body to digest. The inside of the corn is where the nutritional value comes from.

Only the husk is not digestible. The rest of the kernel is fine and is very nutritious.

chewing will be the answer.
chew your food much more before you swallow it.
almost every nutritionist recommends more chewing than we do.
Start with trying to chew each bite 10 times, Work up to 20.
one spiritual advisor suggests chewing food until it is liquid.

Think of it this way: It doesn't get digested and sticky, so it can't stick to your intestines. It kind of "scrapes the walls clean."

It's not digestible, but it's a vegetable
