Is it good for you in a way? I hear a lot that it's like having fiber - it comes out unchanged.
I swallow gum about once a week or once every other week.
So...is it okay?

It will pass when you go to the bathroom. Your body cannot digest gum but it is harmless

One of the kids I grew up was at my house and came out of the bathroom all embarred and wispered in his mom's ear ..."I have bubble gum in my butt" I never knew what it was like until I was like 12 let me tell you if you swallow too much gum...you could have a really sticky situation that toilet paper makes worse.

I can't see how it would screw up your stomach or intestines, as your acids would dissolve it. As long as it doesn't get lodged in your throat or anything.
It just sounds like a bad habit, but nothing that will damage you at all.

It either comes out whole, or desolves in your stomach. It won't hurt you or plug you up in any way.
