Hi,
How long does it take for things to pass through your digestive system, personally?

I ask, because I ate something hot at 11am and @#$%& it out at 11pm. That seems a bit fast. Is that bad?

-thanks

By the way, I ate A LOT today.

Actually, please delete this thread... I remember eating something mildly spicy the previous day.
