the body will break down its own fat for energy.

Feces are made up of materials that the body cannot digest, such as seeds, certain fruit skins and other fibers. Feces is also made up of foreign materials that you may have swallowed accidentally, such as a small coin. Feces is also made up of live and dead bacteria. Remember, the small intestine only absorbs the nutrients of food, not the food itself. Even when all of the nutrients are absorbed, some food bits aren't completely digested and are passed out in feces.

Feces also contains dead Bacteria, sloughed off mucosal cells and dried contents of digestive juices, hence it is formed even if whole food is digested.

Is chlamydia still in your system even if the semen is already digested?

If semen is digested, that means it went through your throat. You get chlamydia from oral sex if your throat is infected during the process of swallowing, not because you "absorbed" the bacteria in your stomach or intestines. If you had oral sex with someone with chlamydia, get tested and treated.


What is the food that is not digested?

Cellulose fiber is not digested by the human digestive system, but also bear in mind that digestion does not work with 100% efficiency, so even nutrients that we digest are not completely digested. Anything not digested will, in due course, be eliminated in the form of a bowel movement.

Does your body always contain feces?

Yes, most of the time it does. The intestines hold the feces (poop) as it moves through the lower digestive tract on its way out of your body. It would only be empty if you haven't eaten solid foods for days and usually you'd also have to have used laxatives or enemas to completely clear it out (small amounts would likely still be present even then).
