The intestinal lining, or epithelium, is constantly renewing itself, with about 1 billion cells being shed and replaced daily. Over the course of a month, this translates to approximately 30 billion intestinal lining cells dying and being replaced. This rapid turnover is essential for maintaining gut health and function.
Both bacteria and the lining cells of the intestinal tract have to have mutual attractive proteins. These will allow the bacteria affect the other cells. Many do not and they have no bad effect. We do have billions of bacteria that are beneficial and not harmful. The digestive tract is their normal habitat.
Many different types of cells have vacuoles, which are simply membrane-bound containers for various compounds. For example, the intestinal cells lining the microvilli of the jejunum have vacuoles holding various absorbed nutrients. The exocrine pancreas cells have vacuoles holding digestive enzymes. Eosinophils in mammals have vacuoles holding inflammatory granules.
A specialized function shared by the many cells lining the lungs and the lumen of the gut is increased exchange surface provided by their membranes. Interstitial fluid provides for the exchange of materials between blood and body cells.
Neurons have greatly increased surface area due to their dendrites and axons. Intestinal cells have greatly increased surface area due to microvilli on the surface of the cells that help in absorption of nutrients.
The number of times mitosis occurs in a day depends on the specific type of cell and its growth rate. In rapidly dividing cells, such as those in the bone marrow, skin, or intestinal lining, mitosis can occur multiple times per day. In general, human cells undergo mitosis on average once a day.

Lysosomes are particularly abundant in cells that have a high demand for degrading cellular components, such as macrophages, which phagocytize foreign substances, and digestive cells in the intestinal lining. Additionally, cells that secrete large amounts of enzymes, like pancreatic acinar cells, also contain many lysosomes to process and recycle these enzymes.

I am not sure but my biology teacher said it took 6-7 days
The stomach is lined with cells, collectively called epithelial tissues. These cells are constantly being replaced and usually complete the cell cycle within 24 hours.
The cells lining the brain's tiny blood vessels (capillaries) are specifically designed to prevent many substances from passing into brain tissue.
What sort of cell? Single celled organisms have many types. Human's have many different cells a few with types of 'hair'. Cillia on the cells lining the lungs for example.
Um yes. You get stomach lining out, made up of cells, and the food you eat is usually made up of cells as well -- veggies, meat, fruit, etc. Food that is totally processed and made up of mainly chemicals and etc. doesn't have as many.
