A member asked:
Can someone educate me on how long the body takes to digest food and leave the body? i keep hearing different hours. for example, i ate some diced tomatoes on tuesday and i just barely seen some chunks of them in my poop today?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This varies with your age, size, what you ate and state of health. The average is 30 hours from ingestion to appearance in the poop.
