Can A Metal Eaten Mistakenly Cause Any Damage To Intestine, Colon Or Appendix?
Hi, I just ate a salad for lunch when I bit into something that I couldn t chew. It felt sharp on one end. I tried to get it out but I don t think I got it. If it s metal and passes through my system, what damage could it do to my intestine, colon, or appendix.

IF THE METAL WAS REALLY SMALL IT CAN EASILY PASS THROUGH YOUR GUT AND PASSED OUT OF THE BODY WITH YOUR BOWEL MOVEMENTS
HOWEVER IF THE METAL WAS REALLY LARGE YOU CAN ALWAYS GO NEAR A SURGEON AND GET A XRAY ABDOMEN DONE.. XRAY WILL HELP YOU TO CATCH IF THERE IS ANY METAL IN YOUR ABDOMEN
