Guest guest Posted August 31, 2000 Report Share Posted August 31, 2000 There is no official answer. Always remember that these are sports nutrition products. They are developed for a different clientele than us. And the folks they are developed for have really highly revved metabolisms, so they're going to process 'em way faster than we do. Firstly, we weren't processing at any kind of normal rate to start with (pre-op) and now, we barely process AT ALL. And a bar is a food protein, for which you need a stomach and hunk of intestine. So, at best, figure 50% absorption in a bar. Figure higher in the predigested liquids. There IS no exact time period or any studies on same by the mfrs. (I'm working on it!) I usually break mine apart by 2 hours, but that's just a guess.

Consider the bars the same as food. It takes about 2-4 hours for the stomach to empty and about 2+ hours for the food to process through the small intestine and could stay in the large intesitne/colon for up to 24 hours. If you take the predigested protein powder/liquid supps the will digest faster. Vitalady, my teacher, - correct me if I am wrong on any of this!

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2000 Report Share Posted September 1, 2000 Carolyn, Dr. Marcus leaves a larger stomach taking out only about 85-90%. So my 2-4 hour estimate of food in the stomach is close? BobA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 1, 2000 Report Share Posted September 1, 2000 very good. I like the readers digest version, but yours will stick longer because you explained why.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2000 Report Share Posted September 1, 2000 Yep, especially in our systems; small pouch means more rapid emptying.

A post op of my surgeon had the pouch empty time test and her full to empty time was 25 minutes. My surgeon was doing 30cc pouches at the time. He now does 15cc, so less may be faster.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2000 Report Share Posted September 1, 2000 You don't process completely anything that goes completely through your system within an hour. I said to space protein out by 90-120 minutes, so that the next " dose " would be out of the way by the time you added more. - Kind of like a moving processing belt. - both on the belt, but at different places, so they don't interfere. It does take up to 24 hours from mouth to anus, but you can have stuff in different places at different time, if you get my idea.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2000 Report Share Posted September 1, 2000 Yes, depending on the type of food. Fatty foods tend to have slower gastric emptying.

I was told that in protein drink, we get ALL right away. Luv Ya, dawn «:*´`³¤³´`*:» Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
