Yes. Poop is about half bacteria that live in your gut, and half waste from your food. The bacteria are always there, little symbiants in our body. How much food waste is present depends on how much and often you eat, how often you defecate, and whether you've taken anything to "clean-out" your system.

Yes and no. Fecal matter (or as you call it, poop) is the final solid waste by-product of everything you ingest and digest. It consists partially of bits of solid food that the body has no further use for, and bacteria that can potentially be harmful to your body. At any given time, there is usually some amount of food still being processed in your body, b/c your body still needs energy to run, if you're still alive and not extremely sick, chances are the source of your fuel is still around there somewhere waiting to be processed and broken down into nutrients the body can use. If ya turn off a car, it keeps it's fuel. If you ride down the street in mild weather at 15 MPH, it slowly burns the gas, if ya put the heat all the way up in sub-zero temperatures and make 60MPH zips between stop lights you burn fuel alot quicker. Why? Because you're forcing the car to need to use a lot more energy to complete the tasks you're 'giving' it so to speak. When that car runs out of gas, it's out, you have to get more. Same principle with the human body. The exhaust pipe on the car is the outlet for by-product of combustion in your engine, which is of course carbon monoxide and other noxious fumes that your car has no use for. The colon and a few other organs like the sphincter and bowels and urethra and bladder are your exhaust pipe, and your feces are your carbon monoxide, or waste products.

no they dont its the digestive tract it starts in the mouth then it goes down the esophagus with rhythmic muscle contraction then it goes to your stomach then it goes to small intestine then large intestine. everything in the large intestine is waste that can not be used by the body so it goes out of your body by urinating or pooping it takes 24 hours for this whole process to work so no you dont have poop in your body all the time because the food that is in the stomach is not poop everything Tell the large intestine is technically poop but its only pheses when it out of your body you will probably have food always in your body that's a good chance but its never always poop until it comes out the rectum everything in the digestive tract except the large intestine and on is food that the body can use for later :)and poop is also called pheses
