Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX, Welcome back,

Don't worry, it's apparently a harmless product, and since only a small amount was ingested there shouldn't be any symptoms too..

Well since it's been a day already, I hope you're not experiencing any symptoms(since you've not mentioned any)..if consumed in large quantities, there may be some diarrhea and abdominal pain (GI upset), but since you've only consumed a small quantity, you should be fine..

Drink a lot of water, have simple home-cooked meals for the time being and just be vigilant..within another 24-48hrs, it'll be completely out of your system..

Do not worry..

Take Care
Kind Regards
