How do I know if I ate glass?
Alright, so I have these glass roses where I keep all my glass cups. One of the pedals popped off, and I’m really unsure if some shards came off with it. I found the pedals in one of the glasses, and didn’t see any shards in all the other glasses. I drank out of one of the glasses after washing it out and inspecting it thoroughly, but being me the worrier, I still am concerned if I swallowed even the tiniest shard. How do I know if I swallowed glass? I didn’t feel anything going down, and I have no pains in my stomach.
Thanks.

i dont think so. and it would cut ur throat and ur intestines and when you have a bowel movement u would bleed even if its just a little shard. as long as u dont hav any pain n ur stomach experience blood in stool and u dont have pain in ur throat or anything i dont think u did

Unless it is leaded glass, it will not show up in an X-ray. Just eat some bread to to prevent sharp edges from scratching your esophagus, if there is any glass you think you might have swallowed.

You’ll probably be fine. A lot of glass is less dense than water, so it floats… therefore it would have most likely came out when you washed it.
And even if you did eat it, it was probably so small that it won’t hurt you.
