EMPTY STOMACH

[ALKALIZING KATIE]

Shelley, I love your list of foods you posted. That is so helpful! Thank you.
Ok, now if I have carrot juice and flaxseed for lunch, how long before my tummy is empty? My head hurts and I was going to have my oranges to snack on. I know carrot juice takes 15 minutes, but you add flaxseed and is it now 2 hours? Not just for today, but in general, I like to take my nat calm on an emptly stomach and Im not sure what time period is really required to be an empty stomach.
WHEW that is wordy!
Katie

heheheh! Hiya Katie! I'm so glad you liked the post. Hope you enjoy the foods too!

Juices and fiber leave the stomach very quickly because not much of the digestion of veggie juice or fiber needs the tummy. But then they stick around in the small intestine for hours and hours. So figure on 30 minutes for the stomach to be pretty empty, but an hour to two hours for the top of the small intestine to be empty too.
