06 things to know about chewing gum

Chewing gum causes intestinal problems

False.

Bloating, diarrhea: chewing gum is accused of all sorts of ills. However, the polyols that would be responsible for this disorder would have to be absorbed in huge quantities (100 gums per day!) to induce such consequences! Chew without fear because it even helps to calm stomach upsets: the secretion of saliva caused by chewing accelerates digestion.

Chewing gum is therefore a good way to treat this very debilitating condition, especially during pregnancy! since there are no contraindications to chewing gum during pregnancy.
