If a adult swallows 15 plus magnets ( very stupid i know) and after a week they have not pooped them out should they worry? they have severe diarrhea and mild stomach pain?

You're correct, it's very stupid. Have this adult examined to determine exactly where these magnets are located in their digestive tract.

Agreed, stupid. What would be even more stupidness to hide. Affected person should see his/her GP or Urgent Care for evaluation. Foreign bodies in the GI tract have to be monitored for safe passage.
