Article: Woman diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease actually had ketchup packet in her intestine for 6 yrs

Now this is bizarre beyond belief (repost from UC forum)

A woman believed she was suffering from Crohn’s disease for six years until doctors performed surgery and discovered a ketchup packet in the lining of her intestine.

Maybe I am just weird, but I always look at my food before eating it. If I order a burger out, I take it apart & remove whatever I don't want on it. Easier for me to do this than giving a list of not what to put on it, lol. I am just having a hard time wrapping myself around this one, how can you chew a packet like that for one thing & swallowing it whole. Strange things can happen.

I do the same thing as you do.

LOL *applause *

Nope, I don't have to worry, lol. Any food bought out of my home whether drive-thru or at a restaurant, I pick through it with a fork making sure I don't have extras I didn't order, lol. I am still having trouble wrapping my head around this story, lol.
