If you accidentally swallow chewing gum, don't panic. In most cases, it will pass through your digestive system without causing any harm. The gum may not be digested in the same way as food, but it will usually move through your body and be excreted in your stool. Drink plenty of water to help move things along. However, if you experience abdominal pain, vomiting, or other unusual symptoms, it's a good idea to contact your doctor. In rare cases, swallowed gum can cause a blockage in the digestive tract, especially if you have a pre-existing medical condition. ????
