ProudGrammy 8,322 Posted August 28, 2012 one of my first visit to my NUT - amongst other things - she said i shouldn't chew gum i was like, "huh, why not", she said i could chew gum without any problem - just make sure not to accidently swallow, that's the main issue gum was never that important to me, so i just avoid a possible problem by not chewing gum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NurseJenn 44 Posted August 28, 2012 I chew gum a few times a day. I was warned it can cause gas (and sometimes it does in me). For me, I need it because I've started clenching my jaw since I'm not always shoveling food in my mouth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I found I do it more when I am under stress, and by the time I am aware I am doing it, it is too late, the pain has set in for the remainder of the day.

Sheree 10 Posted October 2, 2012 Omg! I just swallowed a piece of gum! I'm scared, what should I do? well first off call your Dr. but don't panic. my sister swallowed gum, freaked out, called her surgeon and he laughed and said "it will pass" but don't make a habit of it. She had gastric bypass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hollirrose 249 Posted October 2, 2012 Gum = gas in my tummy. The same thing with drinking from a staw. Some people dont have any problems with either and do both. Its not harmful but can be uncomfortable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
