In normal conditions without any medication or specially formulated diets or anything, not very long. Your intestines are a crucial part of your anatomy because that's where 98% of nutrient digestion occurs, and where water is absorbed so that waste can be expelled as normal feces and not partly-digested diarrhea.
A very,very ,very, short amount of time.
The removal of the bladder, one kidney, or the gall bladder would not be life-threatening, nor would the removal of parts of either intestine. The loss of either complete intestine, both kidneys, or the entire stomach would reduce life expectancy to hours or days.
As long as you have some form of digestive track and a way to get nutrients, you don't need it

not much, but they live in the intestines and feed off the nutrients in the wastes that pass through the intestines.

They mature by entering the blood stream and are then swallowed again into the stomach, where they finish growing, and go into the intestines and proceed to lay eggs, after this they are excreted and the process re starts.

How does the digestive system relate to your body?
Every organism must have a way to get nutrients, and to expel waste. The digestive system in humans performs both of those functions, with skill and efficiency. The stomach, in conjunction with the gallbladder, begins the process of breaking down foods with stomach acids and bile salts. The upper and lower portions of the stomach have sphincters that prevent back-flow, especially from the small intestine back into the stomach. The small intestines have the unique ability to pull fluid from the cells in the intestinal walls, in order to further soften foods and break down nutrients from waste. Then, as this "mush" is let into the large intestines, the large intestines have a unique function in which the excess fluid is pulled back out and sent to the kidneys for elimination, while solid waste continues through to the lower colon then the rectum to be excreted. Without a digestive system, humans could not live. In severe intestinal illness, though, humans can live even after having 1 to 2 feet of intestines removed.
