It should pass: This type of non-organic matter will likely pass through the entire digestive tract eventually without harm.

Swallowed plastic: You probably passed it long ago. If you are not having other symptoms, i would just observe you.

Probably gone: If you had any symptoms, they would have shown up by now. If it entered your digestive system, then there is nothing to find. Ct won't find plastic.
