Gum goes where food goes: into the stomach, through the intestine, and into the toilet.
It does not 'stick' there for 7 years! Haha.

the gum once swallowed will inter into the stomach then make the trip into the small intestine then into the large intestine and after about 2 to three days out of the rectum

Dont believe that silly rumor that it takes 7 years to digest gum. It goes through the digestive trackjust like anything else, you just dont get any nutrition or anything out of it. It doesnt digest it, it just passes trough, and comes out as feces like everything else.

Stuck in lungs??? Wow.
It goes through the normal digestive process.
No, it's not there for 7 years in your stomach, or whatever myth you've been told. Goes through the process just like everything else does.
It's rubber??? Jeeezus.

Gum does not dissolve in ones mouth when swallowed it doesnt digest, it comes out in one piece. it will however stay inside you for a few so it takes the normal proceedure with food i guess

it goes into the stomach just like anything else you eat. the gastric juices are strong enough to digest it just like any other food you eat. it is a myth that gum stays in the stomach undigested.

Gum goes through your throat and into your stomach then it goes into your digestive system then u poop it out. Plain and simple common sense!

It gets stuck in the lining of your stomach and takes 7 years to digest.
