Food spends the longest time in the large intestine, also known as the colon. Here, undigested food material is fermented by gut bacteria and water is absorbed, which can take anywhere from 12 to 48 hours. This lengthy process allows for the extraction of remaining nutrients and the formation of stool before elimination.
