Do Long Does It Take For A Substance Swallowed To Pass In Stools?
I had a crown on my back tooth that fell out while flossing. I accidentally swallowed it. It will cost approx. $1,000 to replace. I have been checking my stool to try and retrieve it. How long should it take to pass thru. Also, I have diverticulosis and have a slower than normal system.
