It's not being digested even though it's gone through your digestive tract. Whole corn kernels have a lot of non-digestible fiber, esp. in the seed coat. Ruminants handle it much better since the bacteria produce cellulases and other enzymes that can break down this fiber.

After today's wonderfully relaxing poo I saw most of last night's corn. This distressed me because I love corn and want it's nutritious value. So I realized that the kernels are covered by a cellulose hull and that you must CHEW the corn to get the yellow digestible food part out of the hull. If you eat the kernel whole? You poop a whole kernel. Chew it and get the food part out of the hull.

Anything that comes out the same way it went in has NOT been digested.

People do not digest corn well at all. All you can do is chew it really well.

the coat of corn is made up of cellulose. Our body cannot digest that.

very simple, the membrane that encases the kernel of co rn is undigestable, therefore it makes the trip intact.
