Remember: 14 hours from mouth to rectum!!!

Maybe in a goose!

It depends on what you are eating.

In all, the movement of food through the entire length of the alimentary tract takes from 15 to 30 hours, with the majority of that time being taken up by activity in the colon. Food generally spends about three to five hours in the stomach, another four to five hours in the small intestine, and between five and 25 hours in the large intestine.

It amazes me that so many people will eat lunch and two hours later blame the flatulence on what they ate for lunch.

Gas by product of digesting the food would pass through quicker than the actual food I would think. At least that is how I remember reading it in school.

If you are lactose intolerant or simply ate an extremely irritating food your stomach and intestines will react and cause gas and diarrhea as a normal defensive mechanism to get the irritants out as fast as possible, even in as little time as 15 minutes.
