How Long for Protein to Be Digested in Stomach?
This morning I read this on one of the FB carnivore pages:

If you are eating only meat, your stomach acids will dissolve it into a liquid state in under an hour and pass it into your intestinal tract.

Think that's true? I've always wondered how long it takes for the protein I eat to get past the stomach. Sometimes I still get reflux, but really not very often anymore. When I get it, though, it's like 2 hours after I've eaten my meal of meat (or sometimes in the mornings after not eating for more than 12 hours). Usually I just put up with it, but then I start coughing and want to take a Pepcid to relieve the acid splashing up, but hesitate because I think I might be stopping the digestion of protein.
Anyone have any thoughts on this? |
