When you eat a bagel with cream cheese, digestion begins in the mouth, where enzymes in saliva start breaking down carbohydrates in the bagel. As you swallow, the food travels down the esophagus to the stomach, where gastric juices further break it down. In the small intestine, enzymes from the pancreas and bile from the liver continue the digestion process, allowing nutrients from both the bagel and cream cheese to be absorbed into the bloodstream. Finally, any undigested parts are passed into the large intestine for elimination.
