When a young person has a dual diagnosis of chemical dependency and a. bipolar disorder, most doctors choose to treat both conditions at once. This can be difficult unless the patient is in a hospital or other. residential situation, where presumably he will not have access to drugs or. alcohol. Doctors must also be careful about possible conflicts between. medications for bipolar symptoms and medications used for other. purposes.
3 to 3 hrs in stomach. 6 to 8 hrs for digestion. it stays in the stomach for 2 hours and then in the intestine for another 2 hours. the undigested food goes to the large intestine and the digested food goes to whole body through blood. Carbhydrates and proteins about 1 1/2 -2 hrs. Fats 2 hrs.
so generally, food leaves the stomach about four hours after you eat it. it really depends on how big of a meal you've eaten, because the duodenum can only take in a small amount at a time for calorie absorption (i believe, on average, every 30 minutes or so it opens up to take in another handful of chyme). but, of course, digestion continues after food leaves the stomach. it goes on to the rest of the small intestine for further nutrient absorbtion, and then to the large intestine for water absorbtion. under normal circumstances, it can take 24-48 hours for a meal to fully leave your body.
