The main ingredient of bubble gum is gum base. If a child accidentally swallows gum base, they should drink plenty of warm water, eat less greasy food, and consume fresh vegetables and fruits rich in fiber within 24 hours to maintain normal gastrointestinal absorption and allow the gum base to naturally pass out with food residue. There’s no need to worry that the gum base will stick to the intestines or stomach, as the surface of the gum will not adhere to anything if it has liquid on it. If a child swallows gum base and does not experience dry heaves, abdominal pain, or constipation within one week, and has bowel movements and flatulence (flatulence) every day, there is no risk of gastrointestinal blockage.
