29 Answers
how can you remove items in you anus? If a child stuck a piece of candy up his anus, would it be safe to leave it alone if the object doesn't cause pain? Will the object come out when they go to the washroom?

Jellybeans shouldn't cause too much problems, for instance, and normal defecation would push them out. For larger items, or very small children, it might be worth letting a doctor look at it. (A doctor will have seen this sort of thing before.) Personally, I wouldn't do try to retrieve it myself; the tissues are reasonably delicate, and I would think best left to professionals.
sorry - you're American? - I'm not quite sure how big a gumball is... But if it were me, I'd go to a doctor anyway, just for my own peace of mind as a parent. (You don't say you're the parent, so I'm guessing there too; but in general parents often take their children to doctors for things they wouldn't bother about if it was an adult; doctors understand and expect this.)
Lots of fruit and All Bran, which is a high fibre wheat bran cereal over here in London. It's probably got a different name in Canada. We British are often tempted to rush off to the doctors because our National Health Service stops us considering the cost of treatment as readily as parents in other nations. Best wishes.
I was just guessing - east of the Atlantic, where this website is based, 'washrooms' are usually called toilets or lavatories or something. And of course I'd forgotten that you might have to pay to see a doctor (I don't know how the Canadian system works); but I think that's what I'd do anyway. Good luck!
