I heard fiber takes longer time to digest, how long does it take to digest high fiber cereal like 13g of fiber per 1/2 cup?

people have different speeds of digestion, some bodies can do it in hours some in days.

Fiber is not digested, that is the whole idea, it drags its way through the system undigested like a chimney sweeps brush.
