Swallowed a cherry pit

Am a bit freaked out. I accidentally swallowed a cherry pit. Hoping it will go through ok. Anyone else do this?  How did everything turn out?

Oh no, you're going to grow a cherry tree in your stomach  ...   just kidding.  I think as long as it doesn't get stuck, you don't feel pain, etc.  It should pass through.  I swallow lemon seeds (much smaller) fairly often from my iced tea and have not had any issues.

are cherry pits on your Nuts Plan?

Someone did this earlier this week (or last weekend) and posted about it. Although it isn't good for anyone to swallow cherry pits, unless you are very early out (in which case, you shouldn't be eating cherries at all!) your stoma is big enough to allow a small cherry pit to pass through.

I am 50 years old and have been eating cherries most of my life and even as a child I do not remember swallowing a pit, so it surprises me to see two posts in one week about people swallowing pits especially since RNYers are supposed to chew everything to mush before swallowing...

Never done that before, but I guess it can happen lol. I think you should be fine, but if you start feeling wierd, you might want to get some kind of medical attention. If you start having abnormal pain then I'd go to the ER.

I love cherries.  I "invested" in an Oxo Cherry Pitter (http://www.amazon.com/OXO-Good-Grips-Cherry-Pitter/dp/B000NQ 925K)

I absolutely LOVE it

I've heard this on here every couple of months for years. I don't remember ANYONE who swallowed a pit who didn't know pretty darn quick if they'd have a problem.

Look at it this way: if it's smaller than some of your pills (and they are) then it'll pass through the stoma and your body will process it as it does anything else like that. If nothing else, a lot of fiber.
