Detailed explanation-1: -Digestion time varies among 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.

Detailed explanation-2: -It only takes a few seconds for food to travel down the whole esophagus and into the stomach. Stomach: Your stomach squeezes food and mixes it with acid and enzymes to break it down. Food can spend anywhere from 2 to 5 hours in the stomach.

Detailed explanation-3: -Standards for such testing have been set by the American Neurogastroenterology and Motility Society and the Society of Nuclear Medicine. They state that a normal stomach should be 90 percent empty after four hours.

Detailed explanation-4: -Due to the amount of starches in traditional pizza, it takes about 6-8 hours to digest. So if you eat pizza for lunch, that heaviness can linger in your stomach for the rest of the day, often leading to gas and pain.
