I chew gum every day. I was told I shouldn't but it hasn't been a problem for me.

one of my first visit to my NUT - amongst other things - she said i shouldn't chew gum

i was like, "huh, why not", she said i could chew gum without any problem - just make sure not to accidently swallow, that's the main issue

gum was never that important to me, so i just avoid a possible problem by not chewing gum

I chew gum a few times a day. I was warned it can cause gas (and sometimes it does in me). For me, I need it because I've started clenching my jaw since I'm not always shoveling food in my mouth. :)

Oh my gosh, I do this too, and then I end up with the most awful headaches! I found I do it more when I am under stress, and by the time I am aware I am doing it, it is too late, the pain has set in for the remainder of the day.

my NUT told me that i might have a problem if i accidently swallow a piece of gum. just call your NUT and see what she tells you

well first off call your Dr. but don't panic. my sister swallowed gum, freaked out, called her surgeon and he laughed and said "it will pass" but don't make a habit of it. She had gastric bypass.

Gum = gas in my tummy. The same thing with drinking from a staw. Some people dont have any problems with either and do both. Its not harmful but can be uncomfortable.
