Q: i accidently ate tiny bits of ceramic plate without realising it broke in my food untol the end of my meal, will i be okay?

: This will pass through and out of your body in your poop in 3-4 days. It is not a toxic material and will not cause a worrisome problem.

It is likely that this will not cause any issues whatsoever. You may not even notice when they are passed in your stool. If you do develop any pain or other symptoms, see your doctor. Good luck.
