Feeling like my stomach is empty even after I've eaten. Also, I've been having issues in the morning where I have to go to the bathroom like 2 or 3 times. Not sure what's going on. Any ideas on what this could be or what to do?

I just swallowed a plum seed by mistake about an hour ago. It didn't cause me to choke, and I'm not in any pain at the moment. Should I be worried about this, or is there something I should be doing to make sure I'm okay?

Accidentally swallowing a medium sized plum seed should not cause any harm as long as you are not experiencing any pain or discomfort. However, it is important to monitor for any signs of abdominal pain, difficulty breathing, or choking sensation. To help pass the seed through your digestive system smoothly, you can drink plenty of water to aid in digestion. If you experience any unusual symptoms or discomfort, please seek medical attention immediately.
