I did not mention stomach. I meant the GI-tract as a whole. I've used food coloring and indigestibles (like corn kernels) to do experiments on whether meals can "overtake" or "merge" or "join" with other meals into poops.

The SHAT score is the sum of the Bristol Stool Chart scores over a specific time period divided by that time period in days. > Post-ingestion, stools were monitored and examined in search of the excreted item.

Food coloring is a liquid dye. It will mix with whatever chyme it encounters in the stomach and small intestine, dyeing a large portion of the stool. It does not prove that food stayed in a single-file line. Also, again the GI-tract as a whole is also not a "one-lane road". Please educate yourself and do not do "experiments" on yourself. A good place to start learning more would be: https://accessmedicine.mhmedical.com/book.aspx?bookid=691 https://accessmedicine.mhmedical.com/book.aspx?bookid=691 if you're intrested.
