A four-year-old boy was forced to have an emergency operation to unblock his stomach after swallowing 40 pieces of chewing gum.
The child, from Ohio, US started to develop cramps and diarrhoea after the chewing gum clumped together in his stomach and started to block his digestive operation.
Doctors, led by Dr Chizite Iheonunekwu at the Cleveland Clinic, were forced to pull the clump of gum back through his throat after CT scans showed it was lodged in his stomach.
