Craped out a quarter?!


Question:

Craped out a quarter?

With all seriousness my friend recently passed a quarter though his digestive track. He can't remember eating it. It was very tarnished and we are trying to figure out if it was from a long time ago or recently. It was so tarnished it was almost black. He has a problem going number two, he only goes about once every 4 to 5 days. Any ideas? could this be from his child hood or a recent quarter passing


Answers:

If your friend would have swallowed the quarter as a child he would have had a much more serious problem. Objects of that size can get stuck in the esophagus of a small child requiring some type of procedure (upper endoscopy) to get the coin out. More than likely, your friend probably swallowed the coin four to six days ago and for some reason didn't notice it. He should definitely drink plenty of water, get exercise, eat fruits and vegetables and add fiber to his diet. This should help is problems with constipation.
