Gum? do you swallow gum?

what did you think i was asking? :P ;)

Swallowing gum: Is it harmful?

Although chewing gum is designed to be chewed and not swallowed, it generally 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 stay in your stomach. It moves relatively intact through your digestive system and is excreted in your stool.

On very rare occasions, large amounts of swallowed gum combined with constipation have blocked intestines in children. It's for this reason that frequent swallowing of chewing gum should be discouraged, especially in children. https://www.mayoclinic.org/digestive-system/expert-answers/faq-20058446

So there you have it folks, if you swallow gum you just poop it back out later lol. thats all that realistically happens.

Yeah i do. more convenient that way

Eww no, i always spit it out

I try to spit it out but if i swallow it it's no big deal

I don't even chew gum anyways so this question is N/a for me

Eww, no! I don't chew gum, because I’m an adult, who doesn't want to look like a petulant teenager, or a cow chewing its' cud.

If I drink coffee, I’ll use a mint, like grown-ups are supposed to do.

If I can throw it on the bin, I will. If one is not available and I need to get rid of mine, I just swallow it. On occasion, I do swallow other things. 😉

I don’t do chewing gum, have not since I was a teen, it does look terrible when some one is chewing on it.
If a person does use it, definitely do not spit.

can't any more with this dental work and i really miss blowing bubbles with watermelon bubbalicious

Wait! They had gum flavors other than mint, Juicy Fruit, and Cinnamon? Dammit, THAT right there, THAT is why I wish I grew-up in the ‘80s! (Well… that and the music, the fashion, the not constantly being told that the oceans are going to catch on fire at any second! The little things!)

It was a glorious time. My parents didn't know WTF i was up to - ever. It was a feral childhood. Hell, parents had to be REMINDED at 10:00 every nite "Do you know where you're kids are?" 😂

[CrazyGirl2]

Yeah it sounds like it
Although I personally cared that my parents cared enough to make sure they knew where I was and that I was safe. Well except for the fact that my uncle was sexually abusing me!!! 😔 But by the time I was 15, I could go wherever I wanted as long as they knew where I was. By 16, I could do whatever I wanted. Which was mostly at friend’s, driving the Jeep to the beach w/ friends, OR clubbing w/ friends.

I can't remember the last time I chewed gum Lol

I always spit it out.

[Curiousbenjamin90]

It loses the flavor before you get a chance to swallow, might as well spit..

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

[Wiredone]

I don't chew gum anymore.
