Would any of these be appropriate?

digestive system fluid or secretion -

digestive system fluid or secretion: this is substances produced by the 
digestive system. The contents may presumably be sometimes undigested.

I think chyme may be too specific.

We could add 'material entity and located in digestive tract' to uberon. This 
would encompass everything from an undigested goat in the DT of a boa, through 
food and liquid in various states of digestion, to feces in the rectum. Could 
be restricted to various subsections of the DT - e.g. stomach, lower DT.

But maybe too general. Would also encompass microbiota of the gut of the host.

Dear Envo team,

Thank you for your replay.

We agreed on using "material entity and located in digestive tract" (issue
110). Although it's quite general, it's often the most appropriate material
term that can be used.

@cmungall
The issue authors are inclined towards your general solution. Let me know when it's available in UBERON and I'll resolve this.

In editors version, will be in next release

Many thanks!

hi @pbuttigieg,

I couldn't find 'gastrointestinal contents' neither in ENVO nor in UBERON, but would like to use it as a material term. Can you please advise?

Best,
Ivo
