The bulk of feces is primarily composed of undigested food, particularly dietary fiber, along with water, bacteria, and cells shed from the intestinal lining. Fiber, which is not fully broken down by the digestive system, adds bulk and helps regulate bowel movements. Additionally, gut bacteria contribute to the composition by breaking down some materials and producing waste products that become part of feces. Overall, the mixture of these components forms the solid waste expelled from the body.

Can feces turn into urine?

No. They come from two different places in the body. Chemical waste and excess water in the body is extracted by the kidneys and leaves the body as urine. Fecal matter is the leftover bulk of what is eaten and contains what the body hasn't digested. That includes indigestible fiber, fat, plant matter, and other bulk. It leaves through the intestines. Now, it is possible for the water to be pulled out of the feces and be used by the body and released as urine. However, that makes the feces harder and leads to fecal impaction.
