I Swallowed Gum!!

[mountainnurse 19]

I just swallowed an unchewed piece of gum!! Am I going to be okay?!?!?!

Good question. I'm now allowed to chew gum. Why don't you run it pass your Dr.

Hope everything turns out all right!

I would guess if it went through your hole you will be fine.

[Maddysgram 6,159]

Yep, as long as you're not having any pain.

They told me not to chew gum b/c it would fill your pouch with air.

Glad you're ok!!!

if you are breathing, talking, typing, and can swallow..you are fine!

Just becareful next time

Thanks guys! If I have pain, I'll call my doctor. I don't think I'm supposed to chew it either. I didn't know it puts air in the pouch. Lesson learned☺

As long as your next meal goes down you should be ok! =) I have braces and can't chew gum anyway, so I never thought about what it would do if you swallowed it! Interesting... Haha.

As mentioned if you can eat you are fine. If you have chewable papaya pills take a couple to help "digest" the gum. I chew gum just be careful.!

That is soooo weird! I swallowed my gum today as well. I am having a little discomfort mid back, but my liquids are passing through without a problem. What a coincidence!

Everything seems fine. But that was scary!!
