Although chewing gum is designed to be chewed and not swallowed, it generally isn't harmful if swallowed. Folklore suggests that swallowed gum sits in your stomach for seven years before it can be digested. But this isn't true. If you swallow gum, it's true that your body can't digest it. But the gum doesn't stay in your stomach. It moves relatively intact through your digestive system and is excreted in your stool. On rare occasions, large amounts of swallowed gum combined with constipation have blocked intestines in children.
1 The nicotine from the gum makes its way into your system through the blood vessels that line your mouth. 2  If you chew the gum without parking it, the nicotine will be released directly into the saliva in your mouth and you will swallow it.3  This may cause a stomachache, hiccups, or heartburn. Most people use 10 to 15 pieces a day. ( 2 Do not chew more than 30 pieces of the 2 mg gum or 20 pieces of the 4 mg gum a day.). 3  Consider using the other materials provided with the nicotine gum.
