[JKurz1]

are so many of us addicted to GUM?????????? Thought it was just me, but it has turned out to be all over the bodybuilding/w8tlifting world....f-ing oral fixation that making me sick............cure me!

I freak out if I forget to bring my polar ice gum with me.

I have to buy the huge 12 packs at Sam's wholesale club.

You mean other BB'ers chew a lot too?

 

[JKurz1]

bro, I'm like non-stop...........its so much a habit, but killing my stomach...I'd pay big bucks for a cure....

 

[bran987]

you chew sugar-free I hope... ?

My dentist told me that actually can help prevent cavities more than anything else, what you chewing that upsets the tummy?

Can't get enough of Orbit, especially the new bubbleyum flavor

 

[JKurz1]

BIG LEAGUE CHEW!!!!!!!!!

nah, of course its sugarless...orbit of every flavor....after about 4, my stomach turns.....

I only do it to make sure I have good breath. I'm so vain...

 

[Toozee]

I seem to be more of a sugar free mint person myself.

Can the upset stomach be because the chewing action and sweetness of the gum triggers the release of acids in your stomach because it thinks that foods are coming?

Just a guess.

I usually chew alot of gum too but since i started CKD I find that it makes me feel hungrier

Trident and Dentine are my joneses

Im sure its the sorbitol or whatever makes it sugarless....how much do you guys chew a day?
