well the only thing that is wrong with swallowing your gum is that you could choke but nothing will happen to your stomach.
we were having a discussion about swallowing gum in my science class and my science teacher looked it up and she said that gum just flows right on through your liver and you digestive tract. the rumor that says it takes 5 years or 7 years or how many years it a lie. you dont digest gum, it just flows through all the organs in you digestive tract, so its almost perfectly safe except that you might choke but other than that its completely ok, i do it all the time.
hope i helped

The most it could do is clog your intestines or you could choke. I swallow my gum all the time & it doesn't do anything to me, and if it does, I'm not noticing.

its not good to... but its not horrible if you do.
like ppl say it stays in your system for 5 years, no. youd have a huge wad cogging your intestines. but it goes out every 24 hours, so if it only one piece a day, you should be ok. juts try not to do it anymore!

You could choke.
Seriously, I think you're fine. In theory, it could get stuck to your esophagus or stomach lining, but that's highly unlikely. Stomach acid would likely dissolve it before it had a chance to stick itself to anything, especailly if you're like most of us, and eat food and drink things. For me, it gives me a stomachache if I make a habit of it. If you're worried about swallowing gum all the time, just keep the wrapper the gum comes in and throw it away.
