Timcom Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I am a huge gum chewer. I am either driving in my care or sitting at a desk in front of a computer all day. It helps me with the boredom. Are there Whole30 approved gums? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators ladyshanny Posted April 2, 2018 Administrators Share Posted April 2, 2018 Nope, no approved gum as they all have artificial sweeteners. Plus, gum isn't necessarily good for you as it stimulates the digestive process but food doesn't follow. Google "Whole30 breath fresheners" if you need something like that but if it's just a boredom issue that's driving gum to your mouth, distract yourself with something else; tea, ice water, fizzy water etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peak Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Gum was my problem too! I had to remove all of the different flavors from my work desk because I would instinctively out of habit just grab a piece almost unconsciously. It was mentioned by someone in another thread here to substitute pieces of fresh mint leaves. IIRC it was in the context of a person who was jogging or exercising to try this as a means to keep one's mouth from drying during activity. I bought a package of fresh mint to try, and while it took some time to get used and it is not exactly the same I do not mind this alternative. I also use mint in my camomile tea in the evening.
