Hello All:
You may already know this, but I just found out and decided to mention it in case you are unaware and might be experiencing problems. I ALWAYS had sugar-free gum in my mouth during the day because, not only did chewing gum help make saliva, it helped to disguise the sweet, putrid taste I have. As far as I can find, ALL sugar-free gum has something called Sorbitol in it. Usually it's the first ingredient listed. Anyway, I was experiening some problems and decided to research it, and found: This medication is used as a laxative to treat occasional episodes of constipation; SIDE EFFECTS: Nausea, gas, diarrhea, stomach cramps or anal irritation may occur. I checked with my gastro doctor, and he told me to stop chewing it. Now I'm having a hard time finding sugar-free gum without it. Do any of you know of a brand and where I can get it? The Sorbitol might not be a problem for any of you, which would be great, but just thought it was something for you to know.
