What happens if you swallow bubble gum?

Answer 1

It does not break down like food, but it will be "pooped" out with the rest of your food. It does not stay in your stomach for 7 years. It's hard for your stomach to digest bubble gum, so it may take a while for it to break down. It won't get stuck in your system or anything if you did swallow some. No need to worry! :D

Answer 2

some people say it takes 7 yrs, 7 days, to digest.

Im not sure which time frame is correct but i do know that it takes a while for the stomach to brake down the gum

nothing bad really happens its just not good for you

Answer 3

There's not much that you can do really. I swallowed it before and I am still here! There's loads of myths about swallowing Chewing Gum but they aren't true. It certainly doesn't take years to digest, or cause appendicitis. You shouldn't make a habit of it but swallowing one piece of gum won't hurt you. The only real risk would be if it got stuck in your oesophagus. Drink a glass of water; if you can feel something stuck, call the doctor.

Answer 4
