neylonas Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Is there any gum/mint that is whole 30 approved? I hate having garlic/onion breath after every meal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renee Lee Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 you could munch on some parsley, some spearmint, any kind of herb, really. Otherwise, you're going to be hard pressed to find compliant stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neylonas Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 good idea though! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megan Claydon Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 squeezing a lemon wedge in your mouth is also a good trick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpellQ Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 They're near impossible to find unless you know a beekeeper, but the hive "caps" are great for chewing. Or pieces of comb honey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny M Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Bear in mind we're not huge fans of chewing when no food is being consumed. It's an awfully confusing message to send your body! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonwelll Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 How about a couple drops of alcohol free peppermint extract in seltzer or water? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denell Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Somebody directed me to Wow breath drops. It is peppermint oil and chloriphil. There is no sweetness at all, but fresh breath for sure! I got from amazon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Becky Meredith Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I thought I had a solution to gum/mints when I found some tea tree oil chewing sticks on amazon. They arrived today, and way down on the list is a bit of canola oil. Will this kill my Whole30? I'm not cooking with it and I know it has omega 6s, but in such a small amount, would it be ok to have a couple of these sticks a day? I talk a lot on the phone at work and when my mouth gets dry, I feel like I have bad breath. I will check out the Wow breath drops too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny M Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 You should avoid them. We're not fans of chewing when no food is being ingested. It's a confusing story for your stomach. Why don't you keep some water with lemon by the phone? Staying hydrated will help the bad breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Becky Meredith Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 sigh - I knew the answer to that chewing part. Thanks for reminding me, and I know it will all be ok! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Strathdee Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Peppermint + fizzy water = Brilliant!! That would be wonderful on a hot day, to settle a sour stomach, for bad breath (especially coffee breath)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naomi Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 But honey is out for W30 anyway, right? They're near impossible to find unless you know a beekeeper, but the hive "caps" are great for chewing. Or pieces of comb honey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmary Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 But honey is out for W30 anyway, right? right. honey is out, as is chewing when no food is present. I finally brought in a second toothbrush and some toothpaste so I can brush my teeth at the office after lunch (and found some W30 compliant toothpaste, not easy!).

Kelly Buskirk Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Does anyone know of a brand of Peppermint Oil/Extract that is approved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praxisproject Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Ask your local chemist, there should be a peppermint oil capsule you can have (no chewing). They're often sold for bad breath or reactions to garlic/onion (funny smelling skin). Sometimes they have parsley oil in too too and they're best taken before your garlicky pesto zoodles If you can't find any, a cup of peppermint tea is pretty good too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derval Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Does anyone know of a brand of Peppermint Oil/Extract that is approved? I got Wow breath drops from iherb.com - peppermint oil & clorophyll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melody Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 A lot of Indian restaurants offer fennel seeds to eat on the way out. They taste a little like licorice but not nearly as strong a flavor. You could eat a few of those at the end of a meal to help clear the garlic/onion breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatlove Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Are there any gum or breath mints that are Whole30 compliant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go ahead and google 'whole30 breath mints' or 'whole30 gum' and you'll find many discussions on this topic. Everything that has ever been wondered has probably been asked on this site... I'm going to merge your question with a popular thread on the same topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather4jesus Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 I been doing fennel. I think it helps. But I will probably take a toothbrush to work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
