What is a good chewing gum?

[ams0929]

I have been chewing Extra Sugar-Free Gum made with aspartame.

However, the past week I was in a stall and was trying to figure out what was causing it and I believe it was my diet dr. pepper and possibly gum.

However, I see patients in our medical office and I know my breath is HORRIBLE... I now cover my mouth everytime I talk or I try not to talk..... what do you guys chew on that wont cause a stall or be trouble?

My short answer for you - No gum is allowed, especially in the first 2 weeks of induction. If it doesnt appear on the list of legal foods then you can't have it.

To get around the problem of your breath smelling, try chewing a parsley leaf or carry around a miniature bottle of mouth wash or something.

I just used Crest ProHealth Rinse which contains sodium saccharin... will that be okay? I try not to swallow any

Is that a mouth wash? Sorry, I am in England and you are in the states (as you may already know) and I dont necessarily recognise products.

It is a mouth wash or "oral rinse" as it says on the container.

As long as you dont swallow then I am sure it will be ok.

Binaca is sugar free - a delightful little spray that i carry around in my purse. Give that a try! It is in the toothcare aisle at the grocery store. (At least mine is!)

I thought I had read that Listerine strips were okay....can anyone confirm or deny?

I don't trust them, because of the aspartame.

Binaca sounds good but a lil bottle of Listerine is just as good but inconvenient.

You know, i can't stand those little listerine strips - so i don't know! They freak me out a little. Ha ha ha. I guess it is the texture... and then they taste like medicine to me. But everyone else i know swears by them. I like the Binaca because it is a little spray that you can stash in your purse and provide yourself with a little refreshing spritz. Fabulous...

I noticed Listerine strips have aspartame, but I don't know what else to use. I need something because I am a Massage Therapist and I need a lot of breath help. You don't want a stinky Massage Therapist, do you?

Wow. I've been trying to figure out why I'm stalling so bad over the past few days & I bet it's the Listerine Strips & the gum I've been chewing!!!

IMO, nobody EVER got fat chewing sugarless gum.
