it initially was intact, but was easily broken and released an oil-like substance. smelled foul. only medicene that looks anything like that is a fish oil capsule, but the fish oil pill is not nearly as large

    so so I am not a medical professional but I have worked in the medical field in the past. My first question is do you take fish oil pills. The second part which is the explanation is that pills expand in our stomach due to our acids and digestive juices it looks like this did not fully digest before it was passed so the pill was not broken down and released and essentially it became poop.

      Makes sense, thank you for your reply. I actually took one of my fish oil pills and put it in a cup of water to compare. very similar texture so this solves the mystery.
