Chewing Gum / Breath Freshners

[Donny 270]

Does anyone have issues with gum? I got sugar free and followed all the rules, but it makes my stomach feel weird and gassy. But I need a way to combat ketosis/protein shake breath at work. I also bought a big pack of Whisps to give a try. Any suggestions or tips???

Get biotene mouth spray and mouth wash it helps.

I did the first time I tried it. It was too sweet for me. I have since tried Tridents Cinnamon flavored gum and I am tolerating that better. You might try sugar free peppermints....I used them alot the first week post op.

I had issues with gum too. Instead I used a tongue scraper, listerine, and icebreakers mints.

hi Donny

My NUT told me never to chew gum - she said if i accidentally swallowed it, I might have "issues"

i asked her again later, and she stood by her "no gum" response

btw - you are doing great - heard your earlier belt story, good for you

How about minty MOM. Kill two birds with one stone.

You feel/hear the rumbling because your stomach is wondering when the food is going to come on down. Chewing gum (or anything you don't eventually swallow) starts the digestion process...creating saliva, etc. You may want to move to mints or the strips like others suggested.

I can chew gum on occasion (sometimes I just need to chew something for a few minutes to get past a craving) but most times it makes me nauseous after just a few minutes.
