Nope, that's just a myth. In fact, our stomach doesn't digest gum at all! Since it's made out of soluble fiber, chewing gum passes right through us. So gum comes out with the rest of your waste, usually a day or two after you eat it. Although you shouldn't swallow chewing gum, it is not considered harmful.

besides the actual incontrovertible reality that chewing gum is designed to be chewed and not in any respect swallowed, it isn't risky if swallowed. An old different halves' tale signifies that swallowed gum sits on your abdomen for seven years earlier it may properly be digested. yet this isn't real. in case you swallow gum, this is real that your body won't be able to digest it. notwithstanding the gum would not sit down on your abdomen. It progresses incredibly intact by your digestive device and is excreted on your stool. you could also try the source link..

No. It takes longer than 24 hours like regular food, but not 7 years. No where NEW 7 years.. I think that it just takes like 48 hours or something.
