It does not get digested.. Normally, it would travel through your digestive tract like anything else.. However, in some cases, things that are undigestable such as watermelon seeds, fingernails, etc can get caught in a diverticuli in the intesting and become coated with food, causing it to get bigger and bigger.. Eventually, this could lead to a blockage in your colon.. This is a worst-case scenario, and in most young/healthy people, it's not even an issue.. However, for people with intestinal disorders such as diverticulitis, it is slightly more problematic, although still a small percentage of cases will cause a blockage..
