It usually takes 2-3 hours for kids, but also depends on what you eat.
Food spend about four hours in the small intestine
The small intestine is a long, coiled organ responsible for digesting food and absorbing nutrients into the bloodstream. Its inner walls are lined with villi and microvilli that increase the surface area for nutrient absorption. Once food particles are broken down, they can pass through the intestinal walls and enter the bloodstream to be transported throughout the body.
The small intestine is the primary site of nutrient absorption in the alimentary canal. Its long, coiled structure and large surface area facilitate the absorption of digested food molecules into the bloodstream for distribution throughout the body.
The long coiled tube-like organ that controls the flow of food is called the intestine, specifically the small intestine and the large intestine. The small intestine is responsible for nutrient absorption, while the large intestine focuses on water absorption and waste formation. Together, they play a crucial role in the digestive system.
It's the small intestine
Maybe I misunderstand your question, but... ... as the small and large intestine are joined to each other (exit small intestine and enter the large intestine), the food moves between the two almost instantaneously.
Food spend about four hours in the small intestine
'food normally spends how long in a healthy small intestine
2-3 hours
I heard it took about 5 hours.
i dont know the answer but its not the small intestine. The small intestine is a long folded tube inside the body attached to the stomach where nutrients in the food are absorbed.

Food is passed from the stomach, and it goes through the long tube called the small intestine. In the villi it absorbs nutrients and sends it to the bloodstream, the small intestine is the biggest part of the digestive system, and the food is send to the large intestine where it is made into excrement.

Food typically takes about 4-6 hours to leave a dog's stomach and enter the small intestine for further digestion and absorption of nutrients.
Small intestine is where 90% of nutrients are absorbed.
Because it takes time to absorb food.
