What kind of time does digestion take?

Answer by  G12345 (1808)

It really depends on what part of digestion. Food can take two to twelve hours in your stomach depending on how fatty the meal is, the fattier the meal the slower it is released. As far as total trasit time, or time from mouth to poop, it is 48 to 72 hours in a normal individual.

The average time it takes to digest a meal beginning to end is about twenty four hours. That is 3-4 hours in the stomach and 18 hours for the rest.

Digestion is the biological process by which food is processed by the digestive tract. As such it begings from the moment food is eaten from the mouth to its excretion. The time the food takes to complete this cycle may range from 1 to 3 days for complete excretion.
