I agree. I heard the same from surgeons who have seen hundreds of
colons after the patient's death. There are definitely   n o   old
fecal matters. The colon is always clean. Else it would not function.

There is an illness called "diverticulitis" (sp?) where the colon
builds separate pockets along its walls and fills them with its
contents. Maybe this would come very near to "ancient fecal matter".
But this disease is rare and far from being common.
