I remember being told not only could swallowed gum cause a blockage, too much chewing motion can cause intestinal issues like gas, acid, etc. Gum probably falls under the category of "to be avoided." (I bought sugar-free Altoids at four weeks post op and experienced no problems, maybe cause they are such a tiny mint)
