Answers:
Nothing serious. Don't worry about it, it will be out of your system in roughly 24 hours time with the rest of the B.M. products.

Source(s):
Eaten it a number of times & a healthcare professional.

i`m not even sureee.

Nothing it'll take a while to come down your, you know.
It happened to me. I like freaked out,but nothing terrible happen

For some extreme cases, it causes anal swelling and the occasional virgin birth.


























Nothing will happen.

It's in you're stumache for a little while. No big deal. I swallowed it all the time when I was little.

it takes like 2 years to digest and 7 years to come out or something like that... sorry. a little gross.

Like anything else, it will eventually pass through your system.

nuthin. It will just come out the same way it came in. don't listen to stupid stories that it will be in your tummy for 7 years. Gum can't digest so it will just come out anyway.

i had the unfortunate side effect of the virgin birth---age 10. tragic. however, it's pretty rare i think

It won't stay in for 7 years, don't worry.
You'll just be constipated.

nothing my dear. it will just come out like any other food.

You should be okay and not need any medical attention. It can cause intestional problems if you swallow a large mass.
Chewing gum is made up of the gum itself (called gum resin), preservatives, flavorings, and sweeteners. The human body is unable to digest the gum resin. But swallowed gum does not stay in the stomach or cause intestinal problems. That's because our bodies move most materials that can't be digested (like gum) through the digestive system and out of our bodies in a bowel movement.

Everything inside your intestines will get stuck together. You will have trouble crapping. (Not to be gross,just true)

I don't think anything will happen, since I swallowed it many times too. If you did it again, please be aware that sometimes when swallowed gum it might struck an appendix and you might need to remove it immediately. If you have stomach ache at your left side, immediately go to the hospital.

nothing should happen. don't worry unless you feel pain afterwards, which you probably won't anyways

it is ok i swallowed gum when i was 4 cause i thought it was like any other sweets but nothing happened !

Watch out for bubbles in the morning

It will pass through you just like any other thing that can't be digested. It'll be out in a day or two.

dont worry about it
