I chewed a piece of gum and accidentally swallowed it the other day. today after i went to the bathroom in the toilet was literally just normal chewed up swallowed gum. is that normal?? im dealing with undiagnosed gut issues at the moment?

Some components of chewing gum can be digested and the undigested part simply is passed along the intestinal tract and passed out the rectum. Intestinal obstruction would take a huge piece of swallowed gum to do it. What you observed was normal.
