can sugarfree gums cause bloating?!

princessblanquisima

I must say i am addicted to chewing sugarfree gums, i can have like 15 per day, so bad (i know they have sorbitol which is pretty bad for my body, bc of diarrea etc), but i feel like my stomach is really bloated now i eat more gums! is this possible?! and its soooo hard, but in a bad way, like woth gases!

I know this sounds like an obvious question, but you don't swallow the gum, right? You spit it out? And chewing gum can cause bloating because you may be swallowing more air that usual, leading to a distended stomach and gas cramps.

So... maybe just stop chewing gum?

Yes it can, you should cut back to 1-2 per day
