A member asked:
How long does it take for a meal to pass from the stomach to enter the small intestines?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies with the type: Of food. After consuming a typical solid meal, there is a lag time of 20 to 30 minutes in which there is minimal gastric emptying. This is followed by a phase in which the rate of emptying is roughly linear. In contrast, liquids are generally transported out of the stomach at an exponential rate.
