Reply to "digestion times"

Hi,  I'm not a doctor but I believe that different foods take different times to digest. Also there may be a differences between men and women, individuals, etc. Heavy things like meat may take up to 4 or more hours but fruits and veggies may not take that long. The sites I read indicate it takes 30 to 40 minutes for a salad.

I have seen pieces of food that I just ate come out and not to be gross but I believe corn is very tough for the body to digest and sometimes does not get digested at all (especially if swallowed whole something I have to be careful about as it gets stuck in the catheter).

This all makes sense to me but if you are concerned about it, you should check with your doctor.  I hope this helps. Have a beautiful and stress free day.  Mary
