Hey Everyone! Well.. i was just wondering if we could chew gum and if so how much. What about if it's not sugar free? I'm new so i really don't know... will that harm your diet to much?

Also (this has nothing to do with gum) but can we have sugar free jello.. because one of the nurses told me that i could with the MF plan.. but i just wanted to ask you guys. THANKS!

Hi Carmen,
Yes you may chew gum ---- sugar free -- that is. But, be careful the sorbitol can irritate your stomach and make you feel hungry. If you have tooooo much sorbital it can also cause very quick trips to the potty!!
I personally think a small carton of the sugar free jello is fine but it most likely has sorbitol too -- so the above caution applies.
