Chewing food takes from 5-30 seconds

Swallowing takes about 10 seconds

Food sloshing in the stomach can last 3-4 hours

It takes 3-6 hours for food to move through the small intestine

The remaining water in the food is sucked up by the large intestine can last 18-24 hours

The waste of the food is then stored in the colon, where they remain,

usually for a day or two, until the feces are expelled by a bowel

movement through the rectum.
