My RN said that chewing gum would give you gas pains. So I wasn't brave enough to try. I would have loved to have gum during my hospital stay. You are too right, your mouth does taste weird and brushing does not help. It did get better once I got home.

My nut encourages me to drink non fat skim milk (1 cup twice per day.....for 8 mg Protein per cup).......so in the evening I put 1 cup of milk......lil vanilla extract.......lil cinnamon......lil splenda and microwave.....yummy.......and if you desire 1 serving of sugar free cool whip (2 TBSP is 20 calories).....and this counts toward my 64 oz of daily Fluid plus protein and sooooo good!
