What will happen to the Eucharist after you ate them? Would the Eucharist go to the stomach and intestine, which is dirty place?

The Church holds that when the Eucharist is no longer discernible in its accidents, Christ is no longer present.

Did you read what I have wrote?
Or are you saying that the Eucharist become non-Eucharist after you ate them? Because they no longer be discernible after you bite them by teeth?

No. What @otjm is saying is that the Eucharist ceases to be the Eucharist once its accidents cease being those of bread and wine. In other words, once you can no longer discern them as bread and wine they are no longer the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Our Lord.
The second after you start to chew the Host it hasn’t lost its accidents of bread and so it remains the Eucharist. At the very end of metabolism it clearly has lost those accidents (feces doesn’t appear to be bread) and so it is no longer the Eucharist.

Did you read my answer? It answers your question.
Christ said “Take and eat”. He didn’t say “Take and dissolve”.
If you chewed on the host (and if you could read John 6 in the Greek, you would understand the reference to “chew”), and someone saw what remained in your mouth just before you swallowed, they could possibly identify it as a host. And perhaps they could not.
As I noted, when a host can no longer be identified as a host, then Christ is no longer present in that material. That process is what goes on in your stomach.
the Church does not pass on the issue of the exact time nor the exact place in your body where the accidents (the appearance of bread) no longer exist, but that occurs in the stomach if not before.

I doubt God sees our digestive system as something dirty. He created it after all and it is part of the wondrous creation that keeps us alive.

OP Read Ps 139 "For it was you who formed my inward parts… " It can also be translated as “You created my intestines (or kidneys).” We are wonderfully created in the image of God.

I would think that the spirit part of the Eucharist would go to your soul, and only the material part would go to your intestine.What will happen to the Eucharist after you ate them? Would the Eucharist go to the stomach and intestine, which is dirty place?

God is above the vomitus.
I’m sure that He dislikes it greatly when we are ill but He is not disgusted by our bodily functions.
Jesus (in His time on earth) would have had the same bodily functions…

It is almost funny to think that God is “disgusted” by our bodily functions. He’s not disgusted–He created them and “saw that they were good!” Jesus became fully human and thus had a fully operational human body. This in itself should speak strongly about God’s love for His own marvelous creation.

You’re not God.So God doesn’t dislike the vomitus?
I dislike vomitus very much though.
I’m pretty sure that when Christ decided to institute the Eucharist, He knew all about the body and how digestion works and stuff, and apparently was okay with it

John 6:53 So Jesus said to them, “Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54 Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day; 55 for my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink. 56 Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood abide in me, and I in them.
Matthew 15:10 Then he called the crowd to him and said to them, “Listen and understand: 11 it is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but it is what comes out of the mouth that defiles.”16 Then he said, “Are you also still without understanding? 17 Do you not see that whatever goes into the mouth enters the stomach, and goes out into the sewer? 18 But what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this is what defiles. 19 For out of the heart come evil intentions, murder, adultery, fornication, theft, false witness, slander. 20 These are what defile a person, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile.”
Jesus becomes one with us 1 Corinthians 6:17 But anyone united to the Lord becomes one spirit with him. Galatians 2:20 and it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God,who loved me and gave himself for me.What will happen to the Eucharist after you ate them?
