Gum is pooped out of your body within 1 to 3 days.

When you swallow gum it takes between 1 to 3 days for the gum to pass through your digestive tract and then come out in your poop.

Gum will not stay in your stomach or intestines for 7 years like some people have said before.

The gum eventually passes through your stomach and intestines and bowels within a few days at most.

Also swallowing gum can cause stomach pain in some people.

Not everyone who swallows gum will experience stomach pain but for some people the gum can get into the digestive tract and then lead to an intestinal blockage.

That intestinal blockage can cause stomach pain and even constipation.

Swallowing gum is not harmful really but it's still not a good idea to swallow gum and instead you should remove the gum from your mouth and throw it out when you're done chewing the gum.

I've swallowed gum before and I was told as a kid that the gum would never get out of my stomach but that's not true.

Eventually the gum will leave your stomach and come out in your poop.

The gum will usually come out of your stomach and into your poop within a day or so.
