Mastic gum is mainly used for treating gastrointestinal ulcers, poor circulation, yeast infections, and breathing problems. Mastic gum seems to have little or no side effects for most people. Mastic is a part of a tree, so the only problem would be if you are allergic to certain trees, you may be allergic to Mastic Gum.
Mastic is a gum or resin that comes from the bark of a Mediterranean tree. It is used for making varnish and flavoring chewing gum. Websites such as Wisegeek, or food 52 to find more information on mastic.
"Mastic" is a very old word for a tree sap gum. Today the word mastic is used for any gum-based adhesive, even if the adhesive has no actual gum. Roofing mastic is a sticky fiber cement used to repair fiberglas and asphalt shingle roofs. It is generally used for temporary repairs unless it will be totally protected from sun damage. You can get it at any good building supply store. I don't see the word "mastic" on the labels of many of the products that are often called mastic by tradespeople.
