How long does it take for food to go through large intestines in minutes?

8to9 It depends on which part of the large intestines you mean. It takes about 90 minutes to make its way through the ascending colon (first part). It takes about 1440 minutes (that's 24 hours) to go through the transverse colon (second part). Once it gets into the descending and sigmoid colon (last two parts) its pretty much in storage waiting to be descreted. So it takes about 25 hours for it to get through your large intestines, a far cry from the 8 to 9 that someone else guessed (i'm hoping) earlier. You can't just judge it from when you eat to when you need to go to the bathroom.
