Best Answer

The starches, or carbohydrates, that you eat do not get digested in the stomach, it only digests proteins. Your pancreas secretes digestive juices that digest all three forms of food; proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. The specific enzyme that aids in the digestion on starches is pancreatic lipase which it delivers to the first part of the small intestine called the duodenum.
