When we go #2 :), is it what we ate a few hour ago? Or is it from the day before? OR, is everyone different? OR does it depend on what we eat?

Anyone have a serious answer here?

    It takes 24 hours for the body to digest food.

    Here is a more precise answer.

    The stomach holds a little under 2 quarts (1.9 liters) of semidigested food. That food remains in the stomach for three to five hours. The stomach slowly releases food to the rest of the digestive tract. Fifteen hours or more after the first bite started down the alimentary canal (digestive tract, which begins at the mouth), the final residue of the food is passed along to the rectum and is excreted through the anus as feces.
