    I went to school with a girl who chewed gum everyday, she ended up in hospital with a stomach ulcer.

    When you chew, your brain sends signals to your stomach to produce acid to break down the food that is incoming, but if you don’t actually consume food, the acid will just continually build until there’s a problem.

    Basically just saying be careful, though I’m not sure if there is any warning signs you can watch for.
