This is what I think is happening: When we chew corn, the outer coating slips off the inner kernel. This outer yellow coating is almost entirely cellulose, and is indigestible (Our bodies do not have any enzymes to break down cellulose). It passes through the gut untouched, and emerges looking like a whole kernel, although it is mostly just the outer skin. The inside of the kernel is starchy and digestible, and that is the part that we succeed in chewing up. Corn **** is one of the greatest mysteries in life. This is what I think is happening:

So it passes through. The inside of the corn is still digested, it just looks whole in your waste.

It's not just you; it's everyone. The link below has an extensive explanation as to why we are unable to digest corn thoroughly. It is recommended that you chew well to help avoid having full kernels show up in your ****. Corn is difficult to digest. It’s not just you; it’s everyone.
