Chyme is made up of partly digested food, hydrochloric acid, and a range of enzymes. Once it enters the small intestine it is mixed with bile to neutralize the stomach acid. I think the best answer may be water; everything else varies depending on the original food.

What is the intestines job.?
The function of the intestines is to digest food. After leaving the stomach, the chyme enters the small intestine. This then moves along the small intestine, by the process of peristalsis. The small intestine lies between the stomach and large intestine and consists of three segments the duodenum, jejunum and ileum respectively. The small intestine is responsible for the absorption of nutrients from the chyme. The large intestine, situated between the small intestine and anus consists of three segments as well, specifically the ascending colon, the transverse colon and the descending colon. The large intestine is largely responsible for the absorption of water from what's left of the chyme. The reason the water is absorbed at such a late stage is because the water aids the movement of the chyme from the stomach to the anus (from where it is excreted) by means of lubrication. Had water been absorbed at an earlier stage, the food may get stuck in our intestines or may be difficult to excrete.

Where does food go after it leaves the stomach?
Food that leaves the stomach is called chyme. The chyme passes through a short passage called a duodenum. The duodenum releases enzymes which help digest the chyme before it passes into the small intestine. The small intestine absorbs the nutrients into the blood stream, and then passes digested chyme into the large intestine. The large intestine re-absorbs the water that was mixed into the chyme in the stomach, duodenum, and small intestine. The large intesting then compacts the undigested material into the stool, which passes into the descending colon. . When sufficient stool collects in the colon, it passes into the rectum. When stool collects the rectum, you develop an urge to defecate, which is the expulsion of the stool from rectum out the anus.
