Seriously though, there's lots of undesirables that "stick" to the colon walls that are hard to get rid of threw a normal diet.
I forgot about the corn that magically always appears with #2 whether you had eaten corn or not

AFAIK, almost all digestion happens in your small intestine and not the colon. Your small intestine is lined with villi to do this. Your colon has no villi because its main job isn’t digestion but to reclaim water. The colon is lined with a heavy non-stick mucous lining and cells that fall away every couple days taking everything with it. It's almost impossible for anything to get stuck to your colon walls. If something actually gets stuck there, it's probably time to see your Doctor for an x-ray & surgery and not a laxative.
