Detailed explanation-1: -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: -After a meal, it normally takes 1 1/2 to two hours for food to move out of the stomach and into the small intestine. When your stomach takes longer than normal to empty, it’s called gastroparesis. If food stays in your stomach for too long, it can harden into a solid mass called a bezoar.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-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.
