How does food come out of your body?
When you eat, food enters your digestive tract. The digestive tract is a series of organs that form a pathway from your mouth to your anus. As food moves down this pathway, it is processed and changed to waste. After food is changed to waste, it is pushed out of your body in a bowel movement.
What is the cause of food not digesting?
These can result from many causes, including irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), acid reflux, pregnancy, eating too fast, medications, and gastrointestinal surgery. The body needs a range of nutrients, including fiber, protein, and fat. In some forms, however, these nutrients can be hard to digest.

What happens to your body when you eat food?
What’s most likely happening to you is something called the gastrocolic reflex. The gastrocolic reflex is a normal reaction the body has to eating food in varying intensities. When food hits your stomach, your body releases certain hormones. These hormones tell your colon to contract to move food through your colon and out of your body.
Why do some foods go right through you?
Foods are likely to go right through you because gastrocolic reflex stimulates contractions in the colon that can lead to urgency shortly after eating.
Why does food come back up after eating?
I think it may be caused by low stomach acid. You don’t have enough stomach acid in your stomach to digest the food, it just sits there fermenting, and the excess gas creates pressur in your stomach that pushes it back up. Read Norm Robillard’s research.
How is food processed in the human body?
Your body processes the food you eat and extracts the usable vitamins, minerals, and whatever other nutrients it needs to keep you functioning properly. The rest of it—the solids—go through your intestines to be excreted as waste. Some of it gets processed into fat, which the human body does need in order to be healthy.
