My 11 month ds has been poorly the past few day (i did have a thread here) but to cut it short, high temp, had been constipated but was all coming out quite quickly, tummy pai

ds has had very watery poo, then in early hours passed three potatoe peeling curled up tightly together i did pull it apart and showed dh and am pretty sure it is potatoe peelings

on sat i left kids with dh and in order to multitask he peeled potatoes in the living room on a tray so could watch kids, ds may have eaten peelings then

could it have blocked his bowel?

i am waiting for gp to call me but am obv tense and as that wont be till 11 ish would like imput as am really worried

raw spud peelings can block a chicken's crop, but that is not much help is it?

Hope GP calls soon
