Can Ingestion Of Melted Plastic Cause Stomach Discomfort?
Hi I consumed soup that I didn't realise I had put the plastic chopping board on top of the pot which was
still hot and may have possible melted into the soup, as part of the chopping board had melted but was hanging down, not sure if some went into the soup I consumed about 4 days ago, I have had a bad migraine as well as funny feeling in my stomach.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
If you have accidentally ingested some, or a small quantity of plastic that had been melted onto the food, the plastic should just pass through your system. Once off here and there should do no harm.
Your abdominal discomfort may be due to other causes please avoid spicy food and alcohol avoid smoking and caffeine drinks.
Use tablet Pantoprazole before breakfast for one week.
If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
