1. 6 hours or less Normally you will be hungry again 6 hours after a meal.
2. Most of the food takes approximately fourteen hours to get digested and converted to feces. Depending upon the relative fiber and fat content this time can get a bit varied--fat prolongs it and fibers hasten the transition of food along the intestines and stomach. Emptying of stomach takes about 6 hours. But, the feces such formed can be stored in sigmoid colon for longer periods, depending upon one's 'cycle', and that's why people manage to get constipated if this period gets too prolonged. Hope this helps. Bye.TC.
