How long does it take to digest food â from the time you eat it to the time you excrete it? Answers from Michael F. Picco, M.D. Digestion time varies between individuals and between men and women. 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, absorption of water and, finally, elimination of undigested food.
It takes anywhere from 1 to 3 hours for food to completely exit the stomach, depending on how much food you and what food you eat (protein takes longer to digest).Large meals â¦ take 2 to 5 hours.21 people found this useful.
