I’m not thinking about actual undigested food, but special food “slurry”, with nutrients specifically arranged and concentrated for maximum absorption.
Comment on Is it possible to survive by eating only through your ass? (Serious.)

You can breathe through your rectum, too, technically; but it’s not fast enough at getting oxygen in your system to keep you from suffocating.
I am suspecting that eating food that way may have the same issue.

But your rectum does not absorb any oxygen

Look up the term “enteral ventilation via anus.”

TIL. Apparently there were studies done using an oxygen-enriched enema potentially for drowned people to resuscitate them. Didn’t work lol.
