According to WellnessWeb (http://www.wellnessweb.com/masterindex/eating/about_digestion.htm), it takes food about four hours to get through the stomach, three to six hours to get through the small intestine, and 12-24 hours to get through the large intestine.
Food is propelled through your small intestine by peristalsis, which is a wavelike series of muscular contractions. You might recall that peristalsis is also how food moves through your esophagus as it travels from the throat to the stomach. During peristalsis, the longitudinal muscles within the small intestine wall contract, and then the circular muscles contract, pushing the food down the tract. This coordinated contraction of smooth muscle keeps food moving on its one-way path through your digestive system.
