The cisterna chyli collects lymph from the two lumbar trunks which drain the lower limbs and it collects lymph from the intestinal trunk which drains the digestive organs. So, yes it receives lymph drainage from the digestive organs. It is mainly responsible for"white-fat" drainage, as the name implies. Most people are unaware that the lymphatic system is what moves the fats around in your body.
