No, not really. Some lie a parent made up to scare theirs kids. Gum passes through your body just like most other things that you eat. It's not digestable, but so are a lot of other things that we eat. The only time that gum could cause a blockage is if you swallow a lot of gu all at once or in a very short amount of time.

The bottom line is, NOTHING stays in your stomach for seven years. It is either digested and absorbed into the body as a nutrient, or expelled by the body after passing through the digestive tract.

no that is just an urban myth it only takes a few days for it to pass through your digestive system and because you can digest it then you go to the bathroom take care of business and that's how it leaves.

Gum does not stay in your body for no more than 3 days.

Urban legend. Gum passes through your system as quickly as food does, but you cannot digest it.

No it doesn't... that saying evolved because when gum was first invented, parents didnt think it was a good idea. So they said it would stick to the inside of u.

It doesn't. It eventually goes through your digestive track and out your rear end before it becomes completely digested.
