What is Bowel transit time?
Bowel transit time refers to how long it takes for the food to move from the mouth to the anus.
Your diet affects the bowel transit time. For example, if you eat a lot of foods rich in fiber (whole grains, vegetables, and fruits), you have a more rapid transit time and a heavier, bulkier stool.
This article discusses the medical test used to determine bowel transit time.
