Reply to comment by Pocok5 in Eli5: how does stomach acid not exit with feces when we have diarrhoea? Isn't it just a sphincter which should in theory not be infallible? by Thtanilaw1113

The length of the small intestine is roughly 9–16 feet (ft), while the large intestine is shorter, measuring about 5 ft long.
Just here to add numbers to make it more visible!
16ft (4,8m) !!!
