Body Piercing ProblemCourtesy of Intermountain Medical Imaging, Boise, Idaho. This X-ray of the belly shows two metal parts inside the bowel that were swallowed from a tongue piercing. The sharp stud could cause problems, while the blunt part is not likely to cause problems. Both parts are likely to pass in the stool.
