    Don't worry, it's a total myth that gum gets stuck in there forever. It'll pass through just like anything else you eat.

    But how far out are you?

    You're far enough out to not worry about gum. You'll poop it out like everything else you eat.

    Ack! Hope you're right Tiff, but I'm taking extra miralax today just in case! For the other person - I'm almost 4 months out.

    You'll be okay chickee ! ! ! Your tummy works the same as it did before. Does the appendix really catch gum, and other non-digested stuff? I guess it could go there, I don't know how that little "organ" works?
