Depends: Hi Glass is always a risk and generally if you swallow it, it should be retrieved if possible. It isn't easy to flush out with water because it is solid and has the potential to cut you. I am not sure exactly how large the pieces of glass are but I would try to get seen by a GI specialist as soon as possible. If you have any pain or see blood in your stool, go to the ER.
