Where does Rashi say that?

IIRC we've discussed (eons ago) that the 6-hour wait is a Takana of
the Rif who " instituted a number of innovations that hitherto had not
existed. These changes were as a direct result of the practices of a
sect of fundamental Jews, known as the Karaites, who adhered only to
the literal Biblical texts and completely disregarded all Rabbinic
literature."

So it had nothing to do with digestion, apparently.
