Digestive transit time ?

[Externet]

Hello.

As our lives are highly ruled by 24 hour periods, meals at mostly regular intervals and sitting on the throne is also periodical, the intestinal transit should be a multiple of 24 hours; if am thinking well.

How long does it take a 'normal' routine meal to evacuate ?

What do you mean "routine meal?"

 

That has nearly everything to do with defining routine porcelain downloads.

Well, it just so happens that I very recently (last week in fact) had a medical procedure in which I had to fast and drink 4 liters of laxative and PEG solution so that all my intestinal contents were..... completely....quote "evacuated" unquote..... before the procedure was performed.

 

After the procedure, first meal to exit was just about 48 hours. I made note of this because it was of some morbid scientific curiosity for me.

That said, I believe that the norm is anywhere from 24 to 36 hours.

 

PS: If (when) you have the opportunity to have a camera shoved up your ass, be sure they give you plenty of Demerol and Benzos......so that the experience is nothing like dropping soap in the shower in prison.....

With the proper medication, you won't remember a thing and the rest of the day can be quite pleasurable actually.

That might explain a few things...

I think a lot of that depends on what it is that you ate. Consider that the time for a laxative to work is far less than 24 hours... Also, some foods are easier to digest than others, and some produce more bulk than others, etc.

Uhhmmmm....how do you "accidently swallow lead pellets"?

 

This reminds me of a kid I grew up with that would swallow BBs just so he could observe them when they magically appeared out the other end.....

nope.

we were making a functioning model submarine, the lead pellets were being used as ballast, long story short, we had a pellet fight.
