We’ve all heard the myth: swallow a piece of gum, and it sits in your stomach for seven years. But is that true?

While your body can’t fully digest the gum base (similar to raw corn kernels or popcorn seeds), it doesn't stick to your stomach wall or linger around for years. Your digestive system simply moves it along the normal path, and it exits in your stool within a couple of days.

So, to answer the question, gum won't stay in your stomach for 7 years. It will pass like normal!

Got real gut questions? Skip the internet myths and talk to the local experts. Call our team at 812-477-6103.

That’s right, your favorite fall staple is ACTUALLY good for you! Packed with loads of vitamins, this fruit (yes, it’s a fruit!) has many essential nutrients that keep your digestive system working at its best.

While a PSL might not be considered “great” for your gut, just remember that it’s all about balance. Pumpkin smoothie, anyone?

Sharing a snack with your dog is a great bonding moment, and it’s even better when that snack supports both of your microbiomes!

While humans can handle more variety (like onions and garlic, which are toxic to dogs), there is a significant overlap in "superfoods" that benefit both species.

So grab those blueberries from the fridge and share a snack with your pup!
