Fecal matter forms in the intestines, mainly the large intestine. Right before defecation, it is stored in the rectum. Finally, the fecal matter passes out the anus, the muscular opening for passing fecal matter.
Why do chitterlings stink?

Can an intestine move and cause sciatic pain?
Great question! Typically sciatic pain is caused either by bony pressure on the sciatic nerve or more commonly by muscle pressure on the nerve as it passes through the large gluteal (buttock) muscles. The nerve isn't in the abdominal cavity where the intestines are so it doesn't seem likely that could be the cause of sciatic pain. Intestines can be filled with fecal material or feel lumpy but they are pretty well attached.
