I swallowed a Ziploc bag Tuesday and am having stomach pains - when do I worry?

I read that stuff will usually pass. I decided to wait. Today I am having intermittent stomach pains (sharp pains if that matters) and experiencing mild nausea. Should I give it one more day before going to the hospital? What can I do besides drinking water to help my body pass the plastic bag

Yeah defo go to the hospital. You could cause an obstruction which could have dire consequences if you’re not seen soon.

It doesn't feel serious yet I think it can still pass

....like... a whole ziploc? Yikes. What size? I also vote on you probably seeking medical attention

Medium, I guess.

I'm still having bowel movements so I doubt i'm obstructed. I'm just wondering what would be the "uh oh" clue to know when for sure this won't pass
