A woman who thought she was suffering from Crohn’s disease for six years found the “sauce” of the problem when doctors discovered pieces of a Heinz sauce packet in the lining of her intestine.
The 41-year-old woman went to doctors after she experienced abdominal pain and bloating that was similar to Crohn’s disease symptoms, an inflammatory bowel disorder, the British Medical Journal said in a report.
Doctors at Heatherwood and Wexham Park Hospital in Britain’s Slough monitored the symptoms and gave her standard treatment for the disease — but to no avail. The woman’s symptoms became so severe that doctors opted for keyhole surgery.
Surgeons discovered “an inflammatory mass” that was two pieces of plastic with the words “Heinz” printed on them.

That's what I call "wolfing down your food".
lol
She had “Heinz” :)
Only affects idiots.
Would not an endoscopy that should have been done very early on shown this?
Colonoscopy.
Wrong end :)
#JohnKerry’sFault
Looks like a mustard packet...
Dollar to a donut she was stoned when she consumed the packet.
5.56mm
My kid has Crohn’s. They did both colonoscopy and Endoscopy when they first diagnosed him. The scar tissue at the inflammation site was too severe for the camera to go all the way through, so I guess getting blocked up by a ketchup packet is plausible.
He had the bad section removed a couple weeks ago. Doing fine.
In your Endo..................
Does she eat like a duck?
Horrible illness.
I am glad he is doing better.
You thinking she may be a witch?
I blame this on the manufacturer for not putting instructions on the packet on how to use it safely!
Yup, that’s the problem right there. No instructions or quick start manual came with the product. Poor woman!
At the risk of being “that guy” I should point out that in the current system of disease nomenclature, diseases named after individuals no longer use the ‘s form. In other words, it’s Chrohn disease, not Chrohn’s disease, it’s Hodgkin lymphoma, not Hodgkin’s lymphoma, Lou Gehrig disease, not Lou Gehrig’s disease, etc. This change went into effect a few years ago.
Yes, they need to explicitly instruct people to open the packet first before ingesting the product.

This is what I say! How are people supposed to know otherwise??? Trial and error???

You guys are going to be quoted when Low Life Legal starts its TV ad blitz, trolling for cases.
It did touch on other things, mentioning that the increase of Crohn's being correlated to a new process of industrialized bread production.
Specifically, the continuous production of bread using a special yeast developed in Sweden. Apparently, the lack of rise/proof time doesn't lend itself to letting the yeast metabolize stuff linked to Crohn's, compared with the age-old batch production method.
FWIW.
