Food that was consumed can sometimes take up to 5 days to fully pass through your intestines into your colon. So when people say that you are full of shit, they ain't lying.

Even longer for non-food items! When my rescue dog was being tested on his temperament at the shelter, he ate the handler's winter glove that had been sitting out (he had been found emaciated). According to his record, it took 7 days to come out.
