After a person ingests food, it takes about six to eight hours to traverse the stomach and small intestine. Transit time through the large intestine, or colon, takes significantly longer, averaging about 40 hours. In men, the food remains in the colon about 33 hours, while in women it remains about 47 hours. When two British doctors researched digestion time in children, they found it was significantly more rapid than in adults, averaging just 33 hours from eating to elimination.
Here's how fiber works. Fiber is a component of plants, and it passes through the intestine undigested. Fiber also absorbs a lot of water, which results in softer, bulkier stools. Fiber can help decrease the time that it takes food to pass through your colon (24 to 48 hours). When stools are soft and bulky, they can move more easily through the colon. When stools are hard and dry, they have trouble moving throughâthat's when you experience straining.
