Saliva contains important substances that your body needs to begin to digest food and keep your teeth strong and helps food slide down the esophagus.

What are some gastrointestinal tract disorders that include abdomen pain and loss of appetite?

Abdominal pain and loss of appetite are very unspecific symptoms. They can stem from pretty much any disorder in the gastroinstestinal tract, and even from disorders elsewhere in the body. A common gastrointestinal infection by rota- or noroviruses ("stomach flu") for example can feel bad but might cure itself after a few days. Irritable bowel syndrome can cause recurring pains and could be caused by a variety of issues.

Occassional abdominal pain or loss of appetite can happen just because you ate something that didn't agree with you. If you have prolonged pains or seem to have lost your appetite completely, you should urgently see a doctor to determine where the problem lies.

How long does it take a human to digest 1 stick of gum?

You've probably had someone tell you something ridiculous like "it takes seven years to digest a stick of chewing gum" and you don't believe it. Good for you, because it's total nonsense.

The actual fact is that you don't digest chewing gum. It passes through you in a couple of days, just like anything else you can't digest.

The "seven years" figure probably came either from putting a piece of gum in something resembling human digestive juices in the lab, and seeing how long it took for it to completely disappear, or someone just made it up to keep you from swallowing gum. But, as you know, your body doesn't just hold onto things until they're completely digested; that's why your gastrointestinal tract has an opening at the bottom also instead of just having one at the top.
