I'm quite sure I've just done something mad...

[lostinwails]

TMI alert! Have had a very bad tummy bug and am left in a position where venturing more that 30 seconds from the loo would be a foolish risk. I've decided that the water I'm drinking is passing through my body at great speed so in a rash moment I've swallowed a round piece of floaty plastic to time how long it takes to come out. I'm mad aren't I, too long on the sofa with only flat lemonade and salty crisps for company I think.

If it was floaty, won't it just stay bobbing around in your stomach for ever, like when swans eat polystyrene? Perhaps you should swallow something non-floaty to push it through.

You really have swallowed a little piece of red Lego?

I'm betting on it reappearing at 4.23pm.

At this thread! "Shat a reindeer sequin"

"Sparkly shit"

marking

Apologies justkeepsparkling not 12.08! On the plus side that means you don't win the lego!

Undigested crisp in there though (that's probably WAY to much TMI but it feels like I passed the point of no return quite some time ago) so now I'm really worrying that I chose the wrong marker and plastic won't pass in a way that's indicative of the transit of my drinks?

Marking my place shamelessly on the BEST THREAD EVER!!!!

If it doesn't make and appearance you'll have to make a name change, Lostinlostinwails perhaps?

I'm going for 1hr 59 mins. :)

Brilliant thread

"Added thread to watch list"

Haaaa Haaaa you nutter :)

Am going to buy edible glitter so I can have sparkly poo :o

I predict it will exit at 14.42. I will donate my prize to charity.

Oh alleluyah.
lostinwalls sorry to hear you are poorly, but this is utterly effing hilarious. ROFPMSL (but no sign of any glitter/floaty bits etc etc

cherrybea name change genius!

Who said shat a reindeer sequin.

Please keep us posted, I'm crying here! Chest hurting now...

Eating polystyrene, now that is a good dieting idea....

I think ordinary glitter would work, the shaped stuff would be v pretty, non?

PlentyOfPockets I hadn't thought of that! Now I'm really worried, I know it will appear eventually when I can finally stomach real food, but in terms of the 'experiment' that won't be very helpful. I think I'm going to have to see if we have any sweetcorn...

You are not alone in outlandish experiments lostinwails - I licked a mothball once when I couldn't account for a missing mothball (just found the wrapper minus mothball). Was concerned that dd might have mistaken it for a sweet, and I thought if I licked it and it was foul tasting - chances were she hadn't ingested it.

Felt distinctly odd afterward licking it and spent rest of afternoon googling side effects

16:39. When DS was 18mnth he joined in a craft activity with older children leading to ingestion of large amount of glitter somehow... Very sparkly nappies the next day - Did wonder whether we could market it "Blingin Botties".

Thanks everyone BTW, I was feeling really cruddy but I'm crying with laughter now! Did anyone hear Jonathan Ross on the radio last Christmas when he had a new dog. Apparently it had eaten a string of tinsel and was walking around the garden with a shitty piece of tinsel dangling from it's arse for ages!

on a more serious note, please eat more salty things - you don't want to die of dehydration.

(you know I only posted that to mark my place )

Ewww... but marking my place to find out how long it takes!

"And shops run out as a glitter-swallowing craze sweeps the UK..." "Pandemonium in cake supplies shop..." "local woman wins prize for building a full Lego city in her stomach"
(just imagining the weekend headlines)

Maybe this thread will entice AmateurArseDoctor to reveal herself....

Here is me hoping for a meeting of the "But Nuts".

Following on from Geocentric - 'the sewage treatment works are looking particularly festive at the moment thanks to a strange fad for swallowing copious quantities of edible glitter - local sewage worker, Joe Crapper, says "it really brightened up my day, put a bit of sparkle into it, ya know?"'

hang on ... lego doesn't float! I seemed to remember it sinking when DS played with it in the bath so I've just been up and tested it (you think you have too much time? ). Anyway, a lego man's head (yellow, fierce expression) floats until you knock the air bubble out of it, then it sinks. You probably shat it ages ago.

Yes, try sweetcorn and let us know the exact time you swallow it

That is something out of SimCity!

Love 'Joe Crapper'!!!!
