Likely yes: I'm not sure by what you mean "quite an amount". Normally the plastic would be eliminated in your stool. It's not likely to be digested. Unless you ate a huge amount wouldn't think you would have a problem with obstruction of the bowel. Toxicity from the plastic likely minimal. If no abdominal pain or other difficulty it should pass normally in your stool
