Will food be able to reach your stomach when you are standing on your head?

Answer 1

Yes, food and fluid can go from mouth to stomach no matter what position the body is in. While gravity helps when upright, muscular peristalsis continues whether you are upside down, or lying so the esophagus is mostly sideways. If you think about an astronaut, gravity is completely lacking. Yet, food still enters the stomach.

Answer 2

Yes. The digestive system does not depend upon gravity, though it helps! Your swallowing mechanism will push the food into your stomach.
