PurpleMarcian Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Wondering about gum and reintroduction... seems silly, but I have missed my gum A LOT and having fresh breath! This really was the worse for me. Prior to Whole30 I did my best to stay away from aspartame gums and limit my chewing to after meals. What are your thoughts or suggestions? I did try chewing mint leaves and bought the WOW drops (disgusting!). Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplepadres Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 The reason for eliminating gum during Whole30 is more about the messed up signals it sends to your digestive tract (you're chewing, so it's expecting food and not getting any). Someone else might have a different answer, but it seems like if you want to reintroduce gum as part of your food freedom, that would be your call. Maybe wait and reintroduce it separately?

Administrators ladyshanny Posted January 31, 2018 Administrators Share Posted January 31, 2018 Yep, if it's something you eliminated and want to reintroduce to see how it effects you, then you do like anything else. I would try chewing gum at different points on a couple different days and see how you do. I would watch for gas, bloat, indigestion and increased hunger and cravings.

PurpleMarcian Posted February 1, 2018 Author Share Posted February 1, 2018 Thanks! I did try a piece of spry gum yesterday and didn't notice anything other than I kept it in way too long. I popped it in on the way to spin class and had no where to spit it during class. I will keep experimenting with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
