it take about 24- 72 hours to pass through you. if you were to actually digest it, it would take up to 7 years.

When you swallow gum it takes six years to digest.
Most people say it takes seven years for gum to digest. Actually, it takes about the time the rest of your waste does to digest, and comes out looking almost the same as it did when you swallowed it.
The folklore is that it takes seven years to digest gum. This is wholeheartedly incorrect. Normally is takes 6 to 12 hours to digest what's eaten but gum is composed of indigestible material. however, it will pass completely through the digestive tract within 48 hours after ingestion. i learned that its a myth that it takes 7 years to digest gum but some people still question that, the 48 hours is totally true.
No, gum has alot of substances that other food contains, therefore it takes a normal amount of time to digest.
Well i have been studying this answer and i figured out the longest gum can stay in your body is 3 days.
yeah i think so but it takes you 7 days to digest your food and 7 years to digest gum. so yeah we digest everthing
It takes just aslong to digest duck as it takes to digest any other food
Thats what tons of people ask me! Well, what can happen is when the sugar in the gum mixes with the saliva, it goes down to the stomach. The Saliva and Sugar make a chemical that help dissolve food in your stomach. BUT, if there is no food to digest in your stomach, the chemical starts to digest your stomach lineng. Plus, if you swallow gum it takes 7 DAYS to digest it... be careful with gum!
Answerfrom Michael Picco, M.D."Although chewing gum is designed to be chewed and not swallowed, it isn't harmful if swallowed. Folklore suggests that swallowed gum sits in your stomach for seven years before it can be digested. But this isn't true. If you swallow gum, it's true that your body can't digest it. But the gum doesn't sit in your stomach. It progresses relatively intact through your digestive system and is excreted in your stool.On rare occasions, large amounts of swallowed gum combined with constipation have caused intestinal blockage in children."Source: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/digestive-system/AN01006
