It should be ok , it will be discarded when you answer nature's call the next day.

Sure kids do it all the time don't worry just do not make it a habit. There are no serious conditions behind swallowing gum.

Happened to me too. No problems at all. The gum will "flush" through your body and you'll release it maybe tomorrow or so in the natural way. You only may help to make it faster by drinking lots of water and eating cereals to make your bowles moving faster.
So, no worries!

Yes you will be OK. when you swallow stuff like food and gum your throat produces something that makes food go down to your stomach. It will produce this liquid and it will stop when the food or whatever reaches the stomach. And when the stomach makes your crap, your a$$ will make this liquid so your crap doesnt stick on your a$$.

You'll be fine. I swallowed gum plenty of times.

Chewing gum does NOT take years to digest.
The gum will simply pass without problem through your digestive system.

I've been swallowing gum for like 15 years, hasn't killed me yet. Unless your gum was made of cyanide, you should be okay.

I seriously doubt it, I swallow my gum all the time. For years actually.

When I was a kid I always swallowed my gum.
