      It depends on the food you've eaten and also on your body's metabolism. =)

        Usually 24 to 72 hours in healthy people. But also like rayoflight and ihra04 said, it depends on what u ate such as beef. Beef is known to take a long time to digest which can cause problems. Other foods take less time, but meat takes a while.

        It all depends on what you are digesting.  Different food takes different amounts of time

        It takes about 2-3 days and 70 over hours for the whole body to digest food completely, which it is a very tedious process with lots of stages to overcome.
