  • Ever been warned that swallowing gum means it's stuck in your stomach for seven years?
    Let's chew over that.​ mcgill.ca Despite what you may have heard, swallowed gum doesn't linger in your stomach for seven years.
    While it's true that your body can't digest gum like other foods, it doesn't just sit there indefinitely. Instead, it moves relatively intact through your digestive system and is excreted in your stool, usually within a few days. ​kidshealth.org
    Chewing gum is made from gum base, sweeteners, flavorings, and softeners. Your digestive system can break down the sweeteners and flavorings, but the gum base is indigestible. However, this doesn't mean it stays in your stomach.
    The gum base moves through your digestive tract via normal intestinal activity and is eventually excreted without causing harm.
