What Happens If You Swallow Chewing Gum?
You must have heard chewing gum stays in your stomach for years. Is it true?
Since childhood, we have heard, If you swallow gum, it stays in your stomach for years!
But is this actually true? Let’s uncover the science behind it.
Chewing gum contains sweeteners, flavors, and synthetic rubber base which is not digestible.
So, what happens after you swallow it?
It passes through your digestive system — just like undigested food — and comes out with your stool.
Swallowing gum once or twice is not harmful. But don’t do it daily — it can cause problems.
Especially in small children, gum can block the intestines in rare cases.
Don't panic if you swallow gum once. But make it a rule: Chew it. Don’t swallow it!
