Digestion time varies depending on the individual. For most healthy adults, it's usually between 24 and 72 hours. After you eat, it takes about six to eight hours for food to pass through your stomach and small intestine. Food then enters your large intestine (colon) for further digestion and absorption of water.
WHAT WE DO. The Crisis Center of Tampa Bay brings help, hope and healing to people facing serious life challenges or trauma resulting from sexual assault, suicidal thoughts, domestic violence, financial distress or emotional or situational problems.
Crisis care can also be part of the job for a psychiatric physician assistant, who may work in a crisis or emergency unit to provide immediate treatment to people with acute mental health problems. When the crisis is resolved, a long-term care plan can be developed to prevent future episodes of a similar nature.
