How long does it normally take for food to run through your digestive system and be excreted?

And what's the quickest that mild food poisoning could give you the runs? I had Chinese food earlier tonight and wanted to know if that's what was to blame.

(Not that I actually have the runs or anything; I'm just asking, in case I might)

it takes 24 hours for food to fully be digested and then excreted. food poisoning usually happens at about 12 i believe , i am not certain though sorry.
