It also contains bacteria and a relatively small amount of metabolic waste products such as bacterially altered bilirubin, and the dead epithelial cells from the lining of the gut. It is discharged through the anus during a process called defecation.

This is a normal occurrence when a prior bowel movement is incomplete, and feces is returned from the rectum to the large intestine, where wat ...
