Havard Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I am posting on behalf of a friend... Lets say for example they have been ill since Wednesday night with a really bad case of the "Brads". They havent eaten anything for a day and a half. How quickly can your body digest food, especially if they have "Calcutta Splutter"!! My friend... Had lunch at 12.30 today and by 2pm they were stuck on the porcelain bus setting off a flock of pigeons!! Surely your food can't go through your stomach and intestines that quick? Are there any medical types that could offer an explanation for my friend..... Before anyone comments, yes this is another crap thread!! H.

marc_p Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I got a D in biology, so not a strong point of mine, but I would have thought that yes you body can digest this quickly depending on what was eaten, why don't you ask your "freind" what he ate?

DamanC Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 mmmm poop! this should explain what your friend is after http://www.madsci.org/posts/archives/1997-05/860192168.An.r.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Lynz_ Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Oh my god, is that all the quotes from the profanisaurus about poo??? I can't help but funny thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiceRocket Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I think its what you eat now is 'exited' usually around 22-4 hrs later. There's a lot of intestines to traverse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 Thinking about it, my friend had a prawn stir fry as he was trying to be healthy..... Looking back that wasn't really a good decision as prawns can be nasty. I don't think it's what he ate tbh. He thought that the bug/virus had passed and he was therefore ok to eat again! H.

BTW, your friend wouldnt happened to have a friend with the sh1ts right now would he? Yes.....how did you guess?? My friend is currently on his laptop with a bad case of pins and needles as he can't get off the "gurgler"... He needs to know the worst case. If you have a virus/stomach upset, just how quickly can you need the bog after eating something! H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I think if your friend is all 'cleared out' already, then as the bug is present in 'his' system, then the upset will hurry the process through rather rapidly. A couple of Imodium's should right 'him' for a while. Off to the chemist 'he' should go. That's if 'his' legs still work after being sat there for so long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackie Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 My friend can eat sweetcorn at night on a monday and see's it again on tuesday afternoon. Not as quick as your mate though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I've had food go through me that fast. Possible bacterial infection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garetheves Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Generally food takes up to 24 to pass through completely but if youve got a stomach bug, plus an empty stomach from 2 days of sitting on the loo then yes it will pass through that quickly.

Animal Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 You could always try eating a bowl of gravy granules - it won't cure you, but at least it might thicken it up a bit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
