“It stays in your stomach for 7 years!”

A frequent thing I was told as a child, but never believed. On occasion, I accidentally swallow gum and I’ve seen a post or two on here of people wondering if it would give them a blockage. I’ve had absolutely no problems and this is what it looks like when it comes out! It isn’t fully broken down, but it is very soft and malleable so unless other things connect to it, I’m pretty sure you’ll be ok!

Do you remember the first dream you had where you had your ostomy bag?

I remember a few months into having my ostomy I was eating broccoli in my dream and I got super scared that I was gonna get a blockage. I realized when I woke up that was the first time my brain had actually considered me having an ostomy in my dreams! Such a random topic I know, but I’m curious to see if anyone else has experienced something like this
