Bowel obstruction?: I would think the amount of chewing gum you would have to swallow for stomach pain would have to be rather significant. If it persists, see your doctor.

Doubtful: Iif the gun were to attach to some other foreign body in the stomach duodenum or jejunum then it still would be very unlikely to " get caught" and cause discomfort. But i suppose there is a possibility because the gum is not going to dissolve and be digested.

Maybe: Lack of absorbtion of sorbitol in sugarless gym can sometimes lead to gas, loose stools and abdominal pain. Usually there isn't a problem as the gum will pass harmlessly through the body. However, there are rare cases of chewing gum bezoars which have occurred causing esophageal ; intestinal obstruction (http://pediatrics.Aappublications.Org/content/102/2/e22.Full).
