It doesn't work that way. It is called a "host" for a reason. This question has been asked by many curious 3rd-5th graders and it is instantly. The part about the eucharist remaining the body and blood of Christ "subsisting" is when it is not consumed. Quite a few eucharistic miracles to support.Jabin said:
I believe that sensors are available now that one can swallow and will transmit (or record?) as the sensor passes through the digestive tract.
Let's assume that one takes communion and simultaneously swallows a sensor. For those that believe in transubstantiation, what do you believe that the sensor would show happening to the wine and bread as it passes through the digestive process?
How would it affect your belief in transubstantiation if the sensor showed that the bread and wine remained bread and wine throughout, or would it affect your belief at all?

I don't think you understand transubstantiation, again calling it a belief is incorrect, it's a way of conceptualizing the body and blood of Christ under the appearance of Bread and Wine
