Best Answer

Up to about 6-8 hours

No, sorry.., that's not right. Actually, food should be out of your stomach 2-4 hours after you eat it..., if you have not eaten any more food and the original food is still in your stomach after 4 hours it is a diagnosis of a medical condition called gastroparesis.., this simply means the stomach muscles are not working right and food is not moving from your stomach to your intestines as quickly as it should be. It is a condition that can be mild or severe and requires treatment.
