Hey,
I agree that this must vary from person to person, but I think the totally rapid emptying of the gut is a Crohn's related thing...my food used to always take 12 hours or so to move through (and I've read this is kind of an average), but when I'm flaring I can pass undigested stuff as quickly as 15 minutes after eating it...so...I think how fast food passes is a combination of personal history/characteristics and disease activity...and what you eat can probably also factor in (different foods moving through at different rates).
