I have been having s/f hard candies and chew gum whenever I have cravings or to end a meal....anyone else? 1o calories for the s/f hard candies and sugarless gum.....is this bad?

I've chewed gum since the begining, but you will see where some on here said their doctors told them not to have it. My doc never said and I'd die without my gum. ha ha

I do hard candies a lot! I love sugar free coffee candies and sugar-free werthers and jolly ranchers. They help fight cravings. I was told no gum, but the concern is only if its swallowed. Im very careful and havent swallowed a piece of gum since I was a kid. Just be careful! :cool2:

I do eat Gum alot @@ to stop my craving to food and sweets

I hate gum so now gum here! when I previosly did the atkins diet I ate sugerfree candy. Just be careful with the sugerfree stuff that has added fake sugar in it- terrible gas pains- like really, really painful if you eat a couple.

Actually its not only gas pains - too many can give you the runs. I remember going to movies years ago and buying a cup of SF candies instead of the regular ones.I really paid for it later that night, i was in total agony. These days they normally have a warning printed on them that says excessive consumption can result in a laxative effect. Believe me they are not kidding.
