That's an area that hasn't been touched on, much. There is one picture here of a cross-section of a yukkuri and shows just a throat and stomach.
I would agree with that. I think there is no actual throat and stomach, but thicker layers of paste dividing the area involved from the filling. Sugar acids completely dissolve the food, so there is no need for intestines. What I can't understand is the need to poo-poo (other than bad memories), since yukkuri could grow fast without the need to shit.

Paste gets expelled in proportion to how much paste is actually needed for growing? Or perhaps it's expelled as it ages, with said aging fluctuating based on yukkuri's current life stage? Idunno.
