What happens when you swallow gum?

[NalaxLazy]

I swallow a piece and now my friends spitting all the IT STAYS IN YOUR SYSTEM FOR 7 YEARS... BLEH

[truthbeknown]

LOL, I heard that when I was a kid. Medically, the gum would take several months to fully break down and be absorbed in your stomach if it was forced to stay there, but because it can't be, the body rejects it and you simply poop it out a day or so later.

When you swallow gum it goes through your digestive tract like normal, you absorb the sugars and thats about it.

[Smmyskittles]

Trying to think of the last time I swallowed gum. Haha.

When you swallow it, your body digests it.

[jeannine22]

No, from what I know, the gum won't remain in your system. Don't worry.

And if you swallow a watermelon seed, a watermelon will grow in your stomach.

Going to eat a watermelon seed. Maybe it'll grow big and strong, stretching to a magical land in the sky!

I just hope there aren't any giants.

doesn't take 7 years. gum digests similar to other foods your stomach can't break it down the way it can other foods but all that means is that the gum will pass through your system and you will poop it out

[Flow_like_the_wind]

That's a myth. Gum gets digested like every other food. The only thing is that there's a component of gum that can't be digested by your stomach but it'll just pass through your intestines, and then eventually crap it out.

[akadatank44]

Thats a myth. It gets digested just like any other food

[blondfrog]

Just takes a bit longer to digest and your stomach will hurt for a while you will be fine.

[Stevan7]

Are you serious, googling would be way faster. It gets digested as rest of the food. It's old myth, lets put end to it.

[NalaxLazy]
