Date: November 24, 2006 03:27AM Okay, what is an exceptable amount of time to pass from the moment a food enters your mouth to when it exits your body?
Is 24 hours sufficiently quick? What about 36 hours? I'm not necessarily asking about frequency of bowel movements. Re: total transit time-digestion

Date: November 24, 2006 04:16PM I notice that when I eat seaweed soup (wakame, dulse, nutritional yeast, lemon/lime juice, flax) it takes between 24-36 hours to be completely eliminated.
When I'm mono-eating fruit it's harder to tell. Re: total transit time-digestion

Date: November 24, 2006 08:46PM Hello! It's Brand new heart. Something's wrong with my account - I can't post in my original name. What has happened?
However, here's my answer: It depends on the food. The harder it is for the system to digest it, the longer it will take. Meat, if I remember correctly, can take anywhere from 36-72 hours. When I read what Bryan said about spices and that the body tries to get rid of them as soon as possible, I begin to think that it can take shorter time with meat if there are spices on it. I don't know. Fruit and veggies takes shorter, often shorter than 24 hours - more like 18-19. Good advice, David! I think you should experiment too, if that's what you wanna do.

Date: November 26, 2006 11:34AM It depends on the food. Watermelon: very quick.
Meat: several days or more. It's 30-40 hours for a standard American meal. Most everything else: in between. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
