      swallowing your food takes about 10 seconds, then the food sloshes about in your stomach for 3-4 hours then it travels through the small intestine which takes around 3 hours, then the last stage is the colon – getting through the colon takes around 2 days 🙂 so all in all the 9m journey takes about 2.5 days 🙂
