If from the bottom, an opening must have been created long enough for the fly to fly undetected into the colon

This is obviously the only way. There's no way the fly would survive not being digested even after emptying his bowels.

I don't know why he swallowed the fly. But did he die?

Isn't that kinda what flies do, to digest their food? Sure you're not a fly yourself?

You'd think all the shit they give you to drink to clear out your colon would have gotten rid of it.
