Best Answer

Most of your food is absorbed when it hits your stomach. Your already dissolved food heats up and "bubbles up" so when you eat again, the dissolved food will dissolve it by melting it or "breaking it down" so you won't get any type of pain or bad stomach illnesses; diarrhea, bleeding, etc.
