Oral fixation

Posts: 36
Hello. I am new to this site and have a little preoccupation that has been bothering me for a while.
I have an oral fixation and always find myself needing to eat something. I don't really know how to control it and was wondering if any of you have a remedy for this other that chewing gum (not a good option for me). Thanks!

I wish I knew. Eating, smoking, pen-chewing...none of them good options. I have at least managed to quit smoking but I chew on all kinds of random things if I'm not paying attention.0

Chew a pen. Or a straw.0 -
breath mints, jello( sugar free). watermelon, cataloupe, water water & water, savor a diet soda, anything to keep me from eating useless calories.0

Hmm..
Carrots, celery and a water bottle.
My other suggestion is not appropriate for public viewing. :laugh:0 -

Apple Cinnamon Cherrios.... 3/4 of a cup is only 120calories and i eat them one by one and i like to break them in half (like a little bitty bagel) when i eat them. It gives my mouth and "activity" while I am at work with not a lot of calories and 3/4 of a cup is a lot of little cheerios. They carry well in a purse, I eat them everywhere. Good Luck.0

this is why twizzlers are so dang ADDICTIVE! they have the *perfect* texture. but they're like 40 calories and a tsp of sugar a pop. bad, bad, bad.
you know they sell chewy stixx for kids with oral sensory issues that are non toxic and bph free. if you think it's that bad.0 -
I'm gonna invest in breath mints
I love those!

Lol! I think I better go with carrots XD0

I think this might be the best solution. And cheerios are quite popular in this household!0
