It takes ~36 hours from the moment you bite into your meal to when you’re pooping it out. Meaning, your digestive tract has 36 hours worth of meals it’s currently digesting at any given time.
When you eat something bad, it seems that you’re on the toilet pooping it out within the hour. How is that even possible if the pathway is blocked by 36 hours worth of meals?

So if you it a bad food it will activate the secretary system instead of observing water it relase more water making your poop liquid

1) the transit time of food from hole to hole varies from one healthy person to another healthy person and can be super fast like those who poo 3 times a day and super slow like those who only poo 3 times a week. So the 36 hour statistic is an over simplification
2) when you get the runs after eating something your body disagreed with, your body isn’t JUST getting rid of that reactive food, it’s clearing your whole gut, it fills the gut with water and flushes the system aswell as increasing the muscle contraction to pump everything out faster, so it’s not a matter of “how does the body only get rid of the bad food”, it’s a matter of “the body gets rid of all the food”. If the body only wanted to get rid of the bad food you just ate and it’s very early on in the digestive tract, then it will return to sender and cause you to vomit up the partially digested contents

Here’s an epic answer to your question from several years ago that I think does an excellent job of explaining the process, and is also very entertaining:

I’ve no idea but I remember reading a book about food combining. An example given in the book was something like…………..
…. Some people will say they can’t eat Watermelon because it makes them feel sick. Yet, if they had their Watermelon before their, let’s say, baked dinner then they wouldn’t feel sick.
When you have your Watermelon last it can’t get to where it needs to in the body because of the baked dinner blocking the way (being digested first). So, by the time the Watermelon has gotten to where it needs to be it’s fermented and gone off hence you feel sick.
If you had the Watermelon first….. problem solved.
