As a result, your body may expend a significant amount of energy trying to break down those 35 pieces of gum, and you'll feel drained as a result. Yes, the whole point of our investigation is to find out what happens when you swallow a lot of gum, but a part of that is also that Spicer does chew the gum first. This chewing stage is what can lead to extra bloating, since chewing incessantly which you'd be doing to get through 35 pieces of gum in just a few hours can cause you to swallow excess air, which can lead to bloat.
If you take a closer look at Spicer's favorite gum—cinnamon Orbit—you see that each piece contains four different sugar alcohols: sorbitol, glycerol, xylitol, and mannitol. Each of these sugar substitute have been shown bloating and other gastrointestinal distress.
Sorbitol, in particular, takes a relatively long time to digest, and any undigested sugar alcohol in your small intestine acts as the perfect environment for the fermentation of bacteria, thus, causing even more bloating and flatulence.
Because the rubber part of gum is indigestible, the gum will likely just pass through your intestines to exit your body as waste—just like other indigestible foods such as corn husks—either in a couple of hours or a couple of days depending on your body's efficiency, according to Dr. Michael F. Picco from the Mayo Clinic. But there are two ways this could go:. The Mayo Clinic has reported that, on "rare occasions," large wads of swallowed gum have been a source of severe constipation and blocked intestines in children.
And although there are only cases of this happening in children, we're not sure if it's because their intestines are smaller or because only kids would be dumb enough to eat that much gum. When you can't digest a sugar alcohol, it can linger in the digestive tract.
Sitting in your intestines may lead to water flooding the bowels. And that causes you to rush to the restroom. Losing weight can be a good thing, but don't try it like this.
The journal BMJ published two case studies of two patients who experienced weight loss due to diarrhea. After examining both of their diets, the researchers landed on a common culprit: sugar-free treats and gum.
The ingredient list for Ice Breakers gum is nearly as large as the nutrition facts panel. Titanium dioxide and BHT are also in the original flavor recipe, which are all total no-gos. There are no signs of actual fruit here! They do have a warning of sorts on the back of the package. It is tiny print smaller than the ingredient list for the peppermint, which is a dark blue wrapper and the tiny warning in black.
Some warning, eh? They told her that 2 pieces of gum or candy gum sized with Xylitol would throw a 13 pound dog into severe hypoglycemia, 10 pieces would throw it into liver failure on top of that. We figure she ate somewhere between 5 and 10 pieces of Orbit gum. The dark blue plastic wrap has black printing on it, so you cannot really read anything clearly on the back.
But hidden there near the bottom is a warning about some people getting burning mouth or throat with them. This warning does not seem to be on the website.
