It usually takes from 24 to 72 hours for healthy people to completely digest food and eliminate waste products. The first stop for food is the esophagus, which moves food from the back of the throat to the stomach. About six to eight hours after eating, food passes through the stomach and small intestine.
This will usually take 5 to 6 hours. The food  then enters the colon for further digestion and  water reabsorption before defecation. The time from it's entering  the colon to defecation is about 12 to 24 hours.
