Gum simply passes through your digestive system like any other bit of roughage, usually with a day or two. ChaCha for now!

The insoluble gum base prevents gum from being absorbed into your body. Instead it passes through your system within a day or two.

It takes just as long as it would to pass normal food. ChaCha!

Though your stomach can't break down a piece of gum the same way it breaks down other food, your digestive system can move more?
