I wonder how Ozempic affects this because it slows down gastric emptying.

#42I did quite some experimenting with this. Fruit moves fastest and green leaves. Meat, cheese, oil and fats slowest. But we often eat combinations: and the slowest component of your food determines the speed of the whole. Also: it's a one lane road and "over taking" is not possible. So, eating a fast moving meal after a slow moving meal results in the fast mover getting stuck behind the slow mover. Hence I start my da…
Or just don't eat meat and cheese at all
Better for the environment too.

I did not mention stomach. I meant the GI-tract as a whole. I've used food coloring and indigestibles (like corn kernels) to do experiments on whether meals can "overtake" or "merge" or "join" with other meals into poops.
that's the most insane thing i read today. kudos to your curiosity

#45I find I can't keep it down for more than a few minutes. I guess I can eat all the poop I want and stay healthy then?

#46This is why I suspect that GLP-1 agonist medications have the potential to cause a cascade of negative consequences for the health of some people. One of the mechanisms is slowed gastric emptying which leads to decreased motility of the small intestine as a side effect. They do tell people to drink more water to counteract this. It just seems like trading one set of problems for another so hopefully doctor and patient will carefully weigh the benefits versus the risks. We shall see.

What do you mean, the human stomach is absolutely not a "one line road", your comments lacks the basic biological understanding. What you're describing is a good generic diet and maybe that's why it feels good but please learn a bit more about the stuff you are expetimenting on.

Food coloring is a liquid dye. It will mix with whatever chyme it encounters in the stomach and small intestine, dyeing a large portion of the stool. It does not prove that food stayed in a single-file line.
Also, again the GI-tract as a whole is also not a "one-lane road".
Please educate yourself and do not do "experiments" on yourself. A good place to start learning more would be: https://accessmedicine.mhmedical.com/book.aspx?bookid=691 if you're intrested.
