So after googling, the normal food you eat is supposed to take 2-5 days to go through digesting all the way to defecation.
I know eating spicy noodles will give me diarrhea but I still eat maybe once a couple months because I love them so much.
It takes only 5-6 hours before I get abdominal pains and have to relieve it at toilet.
So how does this spicy noodles skip everything in my system and kinda pushes in front of the queue to leave the body, it just doesnt make sense?
Edit: thanks for all the answers guys. I didn’t know the body could do that. It really is amazing. And now I feel kinda stupid for not figuring this out for so long.
So now I guess eating spicy noodles doesn’t only give me an unpleasant trip to the toilet but it also gets rid of all the nutrients my body was absorbing from my previous meals.

Diarrhea basically means that your food moves through your intestines too quickly, so your intestines don’t have time to absorb all the water and nutrients from it.
Interestingly, the common anti-diarrheal medication Loperamide (Imodium) is an opioid that slows down your intestines. It bonds with the opioid receptors in your intestines, slowing their contractions and allowing food to travel more slowly so that water and nutrients are absorbed.
