Answer:

False, I think. It takes a total of about 72 hrs (3 days)

Step-by-step explanation:

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 about 36 hours for food to move through the entire colon.In general, food takes 24 to 72 hours to move through your digestive tract. ... 6 hours), colonic transit (10 to 59 hours), and whole gut transit (10 to 73 hours).

(So the answer is: False)

hope this helps, have a nice day!! -KindnessMatters-
