I know that it takes about 8 hours to get through both the stomach and the small intestine. And most digestion occurs in the small intestine. So, probably about 2-3 hours. Remember, the stomach only has the enzyme to digest proteins, so why on earth would a lot of digestion occur in it?

How does digestion of carbohydrates and proteins take place in your body?
The digestion of carbohydrates (starches and sugars) and of protein is so different, that when they are mixed in the stomach they interfere with the digestion of each other. An acid process (gastric digestion) and an alkaline process (salivary digestion) can not be carried on at the same time in an ideal way in the stomach. In fact, they cannot proceed together at all for long as the rising acidity of the stomach contents soon completely stops carbohydrate digestion and this is followed by fermentation.
