Is it normal to poop corn kernels?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes. Seeing bits of corn in your poop is common because the tough outer hull can pass through digestion looking mostly unchanged.

Corn’s outer skin is made of a plant fiber your body doesn’t fully break down. The inside is usually digested, even if the kernel looks surprisingly whole on the way out—especially if you didn’t chew it much. Lots of people notice this, and it’s usually nothing to worry about.

If you’re also seeing lots of undigested food regularly, or have ongoing diarrhea, pain, or unexplained weight loss, check in with a healthcare professional. Otherwise, your poop is just giving you a very literal reminder of what was on the menu.
