  • How bad is it really, to swallow gum as a kid (2yrs- 4yrs old) ?

    Um, it's not always been successful teaching my 2 yr old grandson to "chew" gum. Not exactly sure how much he has swallowed over the past few months....

    Not an expert but it should just flow through the digestive system as normal.

    How many has he eaten? Perhaps swap to chewy mints?

        It should just go right through, although if you're really giving him a lot then there's an outside chance it could bind together and cause constipation apparently.

        Hey hey, BTW got my first grandchild due next month... gonna be joining the old fekkers club for real, man.
