If food remains in the stomach or the digestive track for a long time than the required, will it show any negative effects? If yes, What could be those?

Dear Student.
Please find below the solution to the asked query.

Accumulated food without digestion, will lead to the formation of harmful toxic products which will ultimately effect the function of various organ system along with making the blood toxic.

Without proper functioning of the bowels, waste can be trapped for days, weeks, months, or even years. Uneliminated waste can cause toxins to back up in the colon, which sets an environment for auto-intoxication -- self-poisoning. In this case, the bowel walls become encrusted with un-eliminated fecal matter, hampering the absorption of vital nutrients and providing a breeding ground for unhealthy bacteria. Blood capillaries lining the bowel wall begin to absorb these toxins into the bloodstream, consequently polluting all of our organs and cells.

Most food digestion and absorption occurs in your small bowel. Under normal circumstances, the fecal material that reaches your large bowel, or colon, has a low concentration of undigested food. With malabsorption, however, large amounts of undigested carbohydrates, fats and/or proteins are transported to your colon.
