ate small peace of aluminium foil accidently?

Hi there, I accdiently ate a small piece of aluminium foil while having my sandwich and by the time I realised I ate it, I had swallowed it. What should I do? I know it's not edible but could it lead to any complications? Thank you.

1. No problem. Stomach acids will dissolve.
2. Relax. You will be fine. Unless you ate a huge amount don't worry. I'm sure it will pass right through without you even knowing it. After all it was small enough you didn't even realize you were chewing on it. :)
3. Unless you ate an excessive amount of aluminum foil, you should be fine. The foil will pass without you even knowing it. However, if you start to get an uspet stomach or abdominal cramps, you should get medical attention immediately. I suspect the size of the foil you consumed will cause no problems though.
4. Some of the aluminium might dissolve in your stomach acid, but it isn't very poisonous, so don't worry. As long as you don't develop a habit of eating aluminium foil daily, there is no problem ;-)
5. no big deal
