Why Gorilla Glue is dangerous
Wet expanding (polyurethane) Gorilla Glue can swell into a hard mass in the stomach and become a surgical emergency. Fully cured or dried glue is less likely to expand, but swallowed chunks can still cause a blockage.
Signs to watch for
Retching, swollen belly, no appetite, vomiting

The details below use the specific facts for this exposure, rather than treating it like every other househol question.
1. Start with the exact exposure
For a closely related comparison, read Gear Oil. Any wet glue ingestion is urgent. With dried glue, the amount, chunk size, and any vomiting or belly pain determine the risk.
2. Use the facts to decide whether to monitor or call
Another helpful reference is Homemade Play-Doh / Salt Dough. None, and don't induce vomiting. Any ingestion of expanding glue, promptly.
