How To Get Rid Of Accidental Ingestion Of Toilet Paper?

I accidentally ingested a tiny piece of toilet paper, the problem is that I have crohn's disease and diverticulitis. My main concern is bowel obstruction, it was a very small piece. Should I be concerned? What symptoms would I have if there were a problem?
