Some water can be absorbed directly from the stomach, but most of it is released into the small intestine, where the majority of the absorption occurs. Chyme (the mix of water, food and gastric secretions) is released from the stomach at about 1-5 ml/minute. According to Shils et al. (1994), the small intestine can absorb 200-400 ml of water an hour. This rate is highly dependent on the presence of other compounds in the stomach and small intestine. For example, the more fat that is present, the slower the rate of gastric emptying and the slower the rate of water absorption. Source: ME Shils, JA Olson, and M Shike. 1994.

How long does it take the human body to digest fish?
It is an insoluble fiber and a lot of people really do have trouble digesting it (spinach too). If you cannot digest it, you probably have irritable bowel syndrome. It is because the human digestive track does not contain the enzymes we would need to break down long carbohydrate chains found in things like cellulose. We would not be able to digest grass either, but animals like cows, goats and sheep digest grass without any problem. Termites are able to digest wood. Different digestive systems are able to handle different foods. The solution: do not eat insoluable fiber without something soluable, and do not eat it on an empty stomach.
