nothing bad. it just goes thru your system, nothing to worry about if thats why your asking. If your asking for a detailed thing on how it goes thru your system I dont know that.

You sort of freak out a bit and feel guilty because of the old myth that it will stick to your ribs and take 7 years to get out. Then in about 10 minutes you've forgotten about it and are chewing another piece.
Hope this helps...

The "gum will stay in your stomach for years" thing is a myth. It will go through the same process every other piece of food does.

It comes out pretty much the same as it went in - just a bit softer.. but the colour would be a different story! (You can't digest gum - it's like rubber)

It usually passes through you. But sometimes it ends up in your appendix, where it sits and festers. Then you get appendisitus.
