If food takes up to a day to go through your digestive system, how can spicy food/Taco Bell make it out in record time?
In: Biology
I was under the impression that it took 15 hours. But I’m not a scientist so my information could be wrong.
Either way, unless you have food poisoning or something similar, then your body is just pushing old food out to make room for the new food. An exception might be like drinking coffee on an empty stomach. Since the coffee goes through quickly and your stomach has nothing to digest it gets into the small intestines faster. Again I’m not a scientist this is just based off experience and word of mouth.
However things like corn are indigestible so they pass quicker. I can eat corn at 7pm and by my morning coffee dump at 8-9am it’s in the poop.
