I have read somewhere that it is normal to defecate about once a day. This leads me to think that it takes about 24h for food to pass through the body under normal circumstances.
Now lets say you eat some bad sushi that triggers “the runs” within an hour.
When you then defecate, is it the actual sushi that comes out or is it just the food you ate before the sushi?
Also, how fast could food theoretically go from mouth to anus?

I got poisoned by eating a type of mushroom that needs to be cooked for at least 15 minutes (I cooked for less, apparently), which gave me the shits. I had to piss with my ass about 4-5 times an hour.
As an experiment, I swallowed an unripe berry with a glass of water, to see how long it took before it came back out.
It took 15 minutes.
So, it can be pretty fast=P
