It is uncommon to pass undigested food in your poo. Undigested food in the stool has several causes, such as irritable bowel syndrome or not chewing food properly. Other symptoms may also be manifested here, such as diarrhea and constipation. It is important to see a doctor in good time if this happens frequently or if other signs appear, as long-term excretion of undigested food in the stool can lead to malnutrition.

Complications of undigested food in stool
-
Patients who frequently experience undigested food particles in the stool should consult a physician.

Fatigue, growth problems, poor wound healing are some of the other consequences of poor protein, vitamin and mineral absorption.
