What organ doesn't removes water from undigested food?
The kidneys and the large intestine. The kidneys remove excess water from the bloodstream, but the large intestine removes water from food while digesting. :)
Where in the digestive system is water absorbed into the bloodstream?
The small intestine must absorb massive quantities of water. A normal person or animal of similar size takes in roughly 1 to 2 liters of dietary fluid every day. On top of that, another 6 to 7 liters of fluid is received by the small intestine daily as secretions from salivary glands, stomach, pancreas, liver and the small intestine itself. By the time the ingesta enters the large intestine, approximately 80% of this fluid has been absorbed.

Is protein absorbed by the large intestine?
No, protein breakdown stats in the stomach and ends in the small intestine. The large intestine takes up the last of the water and produces waste from what is left that the body cannot use.
How long does it take the large intestine to digest food?
Very little digestion occurs in the large intestine. Food is in the stomach for 2 1/2 to 5 hours. It is broken down and spends another 5 - 6 hours in the small intestine where absorption of macro and micro nutrients occur from whatever is eaten. The residue, waste, and undigested fiber enters the large intestine after that. Two things occur in the large intestine. Water is absorbed and circulated back into the bloodstream and healthy bacteria that live there continue the breakdown of undigested food and waste. Sadly most people have a transit time of 50 - 60 hours. This means something eaten 2 days ago is still in the large intestine in some form. Eating a high fiber diet can reduce transit time to 18 - 24 hours. This reduces the absorption of toxins in the large intestine.
