A member asked:
My 8 month old ate some plastic from a popsicle wrapper! she hasnt popped today and i am worried about it blocking her intestines. am i over reacting?

Yes: The plastic from the popsicle wrapper will pass undigested and end up in her stool. It might be mixed up in the stool in such a way that you might not see it.
