most nutrient absoprtion occurs in the small intestine. the stomach and large intestine participate in minor extent. The small intestine can absorb about 95% of the food energy it receives in the form of protein, carbohydrates, fat, and alcohol. The remaining 5% would be for stomach and large intestine

the stomach does not absorb anything, it breaks down food. Anything that is absorbed is in the intestines.
