I know corn comes out hole if u don't chew it. Stomach acid can't break the corn down.

I heard that the inside of the corn gets digested/dissolved but the little skin around the kernel doesn't and that's why it looks like you poo whole corns.

Full disclosure I have no idea if it's true, just relevant

The hull (or outerlayer) of a corn kernel is made up mostly of cellulose. Cellulose is a sort of rubbery substance that does not break down easily when chewed. On the other hand, the innards of a corn kernel can be chewed rather easily.

That being said, when you chew corn, the outer layer stays intact while the insides of the kernel dissolve in your mouth. Now, picture the hull as a shriveled up empty sleeve.

Humans lack the enzyme needed to break down cellulose. Basically, this means that the corn's hull (or empty sleeve) comes out the same color and form as when it went down your esophagus. In the process, these empty sleeves are being packed with the other things your body decided to discard today-in other words, more poop.
