Question

What will happen if
we eat staple food?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Swallowing one staple will likely be of little consequence to you. That staple will navigate your GI tract safely, end up in your stool and you’ll poop it out without even knowing it. I have managed patients non operatively that have swallowed the following objects (way more scary than a staple): 3 inch masonry nails, a Bic disposable lighter, coins, thumbtacks, a razor blade (!), a toothbrush (!). All of these aforementioned objects were carefully monitored on daily abdominal xrays to watch as they navigated the GI tract and then were safely expelled. If patients present with recently swallowed objects that are still in the stomach or in the first part of the duodenum, it is advisable to have a gastroenterologist do upper endoscopy and fish them out so that you don’t have to sit on pins and needles (pun intended) for several days to see if these things pass. Most objects, if they make it past the fixed c-loop of the duodenum, they will successfully navigate the rest of the bowel without incident.

When managing them non-operatively, they must be admitted to the hospital for the daily imaging they require to track the progress of the object(s) and for the possibility that these objects may obstruct or perforate the bowel, which would require an immediate operation.

The likelihood that it will cause you problems is astronomically low.
