A member asked:

I was drinking out of a glass cup and pretty sure it got chipped when drinking i think i swallowed a little bit of the glass will it pass easily?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably: Small fragments will often pass through with minimal effect. Consuming half a can of stewed okra can provide a material that will congeal around the edges and form a ball of debris that can pass easier.
