As an avid gum chewer, I often wondered what I would do if I accidentally swallowed gum with my ostomy.  Anyone accidentally done this? I've actually done this several times on purpose to see what happens! The gum comes out and into the bag, looking and smelling like gum! It's pretty wild but I don't suggest making a habit out of it, but I don't think it will hurt. Just your friendly neighborhood ostomate. I too admit to accidentally swallowing gum and luckily it did come into the pouch as it went into my stomach, no real issues lol!! Interesting topic! Linda Eric, I laughed so hard at your comment.  I think we'd get along very well.  I'm certainly of the "I wonder how this will come out" school.  😄 Ulcerative Colitis (1995) @glenn-giroir Our stoma is the science kit that schools wish they had 😂 Just your friendly neighborhood ostomate.
