accidental ingestion

Does anyone know what happens when you accidentally swallow a seed from a fruit?  I swalled a decent sized lemon seed and didnt think much of it but....3 days later I am still nauseous.  I had trouble keeping food down and have had to have completely emptied my bowels and its not going away.  Any suggestions

A seed should be expelled in the stool.  You shouldn't have symptoms like that from swallowing a seed.  What else did you eat that day?  Maybe the lemon was tainted.  Agree that you should see a Dr. to r/o food poisoning/other causes if symptoms persist; and stay well hydrated, esp. if you're having vomiting/diarrhea.
Good luck.

A seed should just follow normal digestive processes.
Did it go down the wrong way?  Your symptoms may be unrelated to the seed.

I would try and stay well hydrated and talk to your doctor if your symptoms persist or you have concerns.

Im not sure a lemon seed could do that unless it was tainted with something.  You should probably see a doctor for blood work and to make sure you somehow do now have food poisoning.
