I may have swallowed small pieces of porcelain with my meal. should i be concerned? not sure, i found a few small pieces toward the end of my meal..
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Whatever little pieces of stuff are accidentally swallowed (including little bones, seeds, plastic, glass, metal, etc...) will be pooped out. Dangerous objects are magnets, button batteries, and larger or sharper intentionally-eaten items.

In case of Achalasia, do you always have swallowing problem (i.e. with every meal) or is it off and on type condition i.e. sometimes you may have swallowing problem and other times you may not?
