Sugar Free Gum

[Lorilovesflowers 1]

Wanted to see if anyone out there chews sugar free gum? Have read that bander's shouldn't chew gum due to the possibility of swallowing the gum and getting stuck in the stomach opening. Thanks

I don't, but my nutritionist recommended chewing half a piece if I want to.

I chew 10-12 pieces a day with no problem except gas from swallowing air, I am addicted to the stuff and have never yet swallowed a piece. My practice has no restriction against it.

My surgeon said no gum. He said should I swallow it and it gets stuck, it means an endoscopy to get it unstuck. I've never been big on gum anyway, so wasn't a big deal for me. I don't want to risk it.

I chew sugar free gum often and have not swallowed gum since I was a kid. I would be much more concerned for those who swallow pills.< /p>

I chew it every day, as long as you don't swallow it you're fine. The action of chewing gum will produce more gas though so be prepared for some belching.

If u can't chew gum without swallowing ...I'm sorry that's just funny to me! Lol I'm 35 and haven't swallowed gum on accident since I was around 3 or 4.

[HeatherinCA 10]

I chew it, not too often, I'm just scared I might die if I swallow it LOL! It doesn't seem to give me gas problems either.

I was a serious gum chewer prior to my band surgery when they told me i couldn't chew it any more i was very upset. I have always chewed the sugarless. Their reasoning is in case I swallow it too, and i haven't accidently swallowed since i was a kid either, but of course I have a fear of it now because they threatened me lol. They said my surgeon would kill me. I just had a dream the other night that I swallowed a piece haha.
