      Not exactly. Poo has a lot of bacteria in it. In fact it’s mostly made up of bacteria. Billions and billions of them. there are more bacteria in your poo than there are people living on the planet! The rest of your poo is stuff your body couldn’t digest, like plant fibre, it gives the bacteria something to hang on to!
