What gums are out there that are not aritficially sweetened and that are low in calories? I can chew up to 10 sticks a day which can add up on the calories. I dont want to go with the ones that artificially sweetened because I get stomach aches from that stuff and my usual Wrigley Spearmint gum can add up in calories. I bought some Glee gum but it seems to get stuck in my molars very easily! Can you guys recommend any and where do you buy them? Thanks :D

    i chew the extra desert delights strawberry shortcake..it has 5 cals a stick, with 0 fat,sodium,sugar, or protien, and with 2 carbs and sugar alcohol ( whatever that means ) i dunno if that will help, or how much is in your wrigleys, but you can buy this gum at any grocery store..good luck

    Trident Sugar free with xylitol is pretty good and is onl 3 1/2 calories per stick. Thing is it is artifically flavored. not sure what ingredient gives you tummy aches, but it's worth a shot.

    I am an excessive gum chewer as well. I chew the trident tropical twist. mmm :) the flavor lasts longer than the trident layers one - which is really good too. Tropical twist has <5 cals in it per stick.

    I just hate the thought of getting 100 calories a day from chewing gum *sigh* is there a gum with 0 cals? that would be awesome! lol I may just have to cut down on the gum chewing

    I like SPRY gum, I pick it up at my local health food store.

    I figure if a piece of gum is 5 calories, I can easily burn that, just by chewing it. Seriously!! I have all the Extra dessert ones!! They're really good. But sorry they are artificially flavored. I'm with you, so check this link out!! Hope it helps!
