Photo Credit VitaSerendipity/iStock/Getty Images. It may surprise you, but chewing gum can cause intestinal bloating and gas. Bloating is the result of trapped gas in your digestive system that can cause your waist line to increase up to three inches, according to ABCâs Good Morning America. If you notice that youâre bloated after chewing gum, stop chewing gum for a few days to see if the bloating subsides. Continual bloating may be a sign of a more serious medical condition, such as irritable bowel syndrome, Crohnâs disease or bowel obstruction.
