ZOE Science & Nutrition · How to tell if your poo is normal and the 5 warning signs you shouldn't ignore | Dr Trisha Pasricha · 2 Apr 2026 podcast

The bun, the french fries, those are gonna pass a little bit more quickly into the small bowel.

Once things move into the small bowel, they're very small pieces, you're going to start to absorb the nutrients and all of the good stuff, whatever there is in this burger and fries that your body wants to have.

And that's going to get absorbed.

And whatever you can't absorb by design, and largely that's going to be the fiber in this case, what you can't absorb is going to keep on moving.

Maybe you have seeds on that bun.

Maybe the seeds are going to keep on moving.

And as it does, eventually it'll go from the small bowel through a part of the bowel called the ileocecal valve, and it'll push itself into the colon.

And here's where something kind of magical happens.

Your colon is filled with trillions of bacteria, right?

And those bacteria plus the genetic material that they contain, that's called the microbiome.

And the microbiome is going to take what's reached that area and they're going to feed upon it.

They're going to ferment it.

And then they're going to produce these, what hopefully is a beneficial short-chain fatty acid or other compounds that even though the original material, the fiber itself can't be absorbed, what they produce as a result of what you fed them, that can make it into the bloodstream and it can have these local effects right there on the colon.

And then eventually your microbiome, again, trillions of bacteria, they're shedding, they're dying, they're living their best life.

A lot of that is gonna mush together with whatever's made its way down there.

And it's gonna form this nice compact patty.

That patty is formed because your colon has been sucking water out of that stool the entire time.

It'll make it to the last part of your colon called the rectum.

That's when you have a critical choice to make.

You can decide, is this a socially appropriate moment?
