Question 1

what are the foods an arthritis patients should and should not take?

Accepted Answer

Unproven: While dietary changes and nutritional supplements are very popular, their usefulness has not been convincingly proven.

Question 2

how long does food take to digest?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It depends on the food. Lower fiber foods tend to be digested quickly; alcohol, can be directly absorbed through the stomach.  Fiber, on the other hand, is never digested and just travels through the gut until it exits.

Question 3

how long does it take to digest food?

Accepted Answer

Variable: It depends on the individual, what you've eaten(and even your gender), but around six to eight hours for food to pass through your stomach and small intestine.  It can then take another 20-50 hours to move through the large intestine.

Question 4

should i take my medication with food?

Accepted Answer

Food with med: Ask your pharmacist or your doctor for proper instructions.

Question 5

what type food have to take for being fat?

Accepted Answer

Diet for weight loss: If you consume more calories than you burn then the body will store these calories as glycogen in your liver (for quick access to energy when needed) or fat for long term storage. All foods have some caloric value but some, such as celery sticks actually require more energy to chew than is  absorbed by eating it. Count calories to lose weight. For adults most burn 1200-1700 calories a day.

Question 6

how long does it take for food  to digest?

Accepted Answer

Variable: This can vary based on the type of food, gender, age, and based on the individual. It has been reported that food passes through the stomach and small intestine in 6-8 hours, when it enters the large intestine for further absorption. Then it may take on average 33 hours for men and 47 hours for women to pass, but again, this is variable. Children may take around 33 hours from end to end.

Question 7

can you take propranolol 1 hour before food?

Accepted Answer

YES: Yes, no problem.

Question 8

how much time does food posioning take to hit?

Accepted Answer

It really depends: On the type of food poisoning.  Some "poisonings" occur related to a preformed toxin that a bacteria had already released into the food you ate.  That type of food poisoning  "hits" you foods on the order of hours.  Other types of food poisoning require an incubation time for a bacteria to create problems, and that may take on the order of days, even up to a week or two!

Question 9

do kids take longer than adults to digest food?

Accepted Answer

No: No, that just varies person to person

Question 10

what food can you take if you have a low sugar?

Accepted Answer

It depends: If you are diabetic and your blood sugar is very low from too much insulin, drinking orange juice is a quick way to get more glucose into your system.  However, the goal is to keep your blood sugar stable so that it doesn't get too low.  See your physician about this, to investigate and work on this problem.
