Guest guest Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 Obviously the ones with aspartame are poison. Otherwise you are making enzymes but there is no food to digest. ABO Specifics Inc. - http://www.foodforyourblood.com chewing gum Anybody know how chewing gum is ranked? I'm guessing it would probably be an avoid because of the aspartame in most varieties, but I'm not sure. Just wanted to clarify. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 Unless it was so big and sticky that it didn't make it thru the stoma, there shouldn't be any problems. But if it was stuck, you'd probably already know it. It'll certainly go through the rest of your GI system ok. dan Thursday, September 9, 2004, 3:00:25 PM, you wrote: K> What does any one know about swallowing chewing gum after being K> banded?

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 If you didn't get that 'hung' feeling, it's probably gone through okay. However, I have seen it written that chewing gum is a no-no for this very reason. I'm glad you had no problems with it!

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 It's not herbal but we always have Spry gum around. You can get it at some or most of the co-ops and we get the 100 piece tubs from MVV. The fruit one tastes like bubble gum so the kids go for it and it has xylitol as the sweetener. It's good for a little fix every now and then. Krista Krista Boos 952-707-1263 babymonkeytoes@... Creative Memories Consultant Memory Keeping at Its Best!

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Oh, I was just doing my UNFI order and ordered Peelu! Currently they have sorbitol & maltitol for sweeteners, but are going to offer " 100% xylitol dental chewing gum " according to the Peelu rep (I asked about if they would consider xylitol and he replied they were in the process of already doing it; just not on the market yet). http://www.peelu.com/PeeluGum.html (My kids like to chew gum so it's a nice alternative to the other sugarfree junk out there.) -- s, Consultant ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Two Sisters Gourmet - Gourmet Taste in Take-Out Time Check out the new fall menus!

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Sugar-free gum is not calorie-free - usually runs around 7 cal/stick as compared to 10 cal/stick for regular sugared gum - not a huge savings in calories but definitely better for their teeth. Gas production is the main issue that pts might want to cut back - esp right after surgery. In addition to the extra calories, I like to remind pts that surgery or not, too much sugar-free gum can give them diarrhea or dumping as sugar alcohols in XS can cause this.  We do not restrict gum but mention these caveats.   On Mon, Apr 6, 2009 at 9:45 AM, Kennedy <hmackie@...> wrote: We don’t require them to – just the first month and try to reinforce chewing sugar-free gum b/c gum can add up to a lot of calories quickly.   K.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 > > Hello, > > I have read bee's site many times and have found nothing on chewing gum (maybe I'm missing something). I am a stylist and I work fairly close to people. I have always thought of chewing gum as a staple for good hygene. Recently I have just been using mouthwash and even brushing my teeth after I eat while @ work. But, with the intake of garlic, I still smell (confirmed by my husband). My clients like to talk and I'm with them up to 1hr 15min at times. I feel that the mouthwash and brushing just isn't cutting it. What should I do? > Hi< I would avoid taking the garlic before work, since it is has a strong odor. Maybe try another antifungal like oil of oregano, but remember that you must be able to tolerate 6 tablespoons of coconut oil before even considering taking antifungals. Your priority should be diet and supplements. good luck kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Hi Bee, Is it okay to chew gum? I don't everyday but when I'm at work I usually chew a piece just for about 10 minutes to freshen my breath after my lunch. Is this okay or should I stop this? Thanks!
