Do liquids (for example, Whey Rx with milk) transit the stomach faster than solid foods or do the acid/enzyme actions take just as long no matter what’s being digested?

BTW, got my first container of Whey – great chocolate taste when mixed with unsweetened almond milk. Love it!

It depends on the total consistency of the meal, previous meals, and current activity. In general, whey causes a spike in blood amino acids faster than other foods.
