The simple answer to this is "NO". After a meal depending on the type of meal( whether carbohydrate, fats or protein) the stomach undergoes a process of churning and mixing of the food with digestive juices. This enables easy absorption. 6 seconds is however too. Short for this process to occur.
It takes approximately 2 hours for gastric emptying.
Carbohydrate meals leaves faster than fatty meals which leaves faster than protein-rich meals.
