Foods that cannot be digested, such as certain fibers and complex carbohydrates, reach the large intestine where they are fermented by gut bacteria. This fermentation process produces gases like hydrogen, methane, and carbon dioxide as byproducts. Since the human body lacks the enzymes to break down these substances, they remain intact until bacterial action occurs, leading to gas formation. This can result in bloating and discomfort for some individuals.

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.

Where is the bile stored and secreted from?
The bile is secreted in the liver and then stored in the gall bladder. When the pancreatic juice is secreted by the pancreas, it gets mixed with the bile juice and some intestinal juice which helps in the digestion in the intestine.
Why does bile juice has no digestive enzymes?
Your liver produces bile, which is stored in the gall bladder until it's triggered by eating foods that contain fat. Bile is then released into the small intestine where it works like a detergent to emulsify the fats into smaller droplets. This makes it easier for pancreatic lipase to break down the fat. If people who don't have a gall bladder eat a lot of fatty foods, the fat isn't digested and acts as a laxative.
