I was told not to have any chewing gum, in case it gets swallowed and because it's difficult then for digestion purposes post bypass Sue, not sure about later on down the line though love... I've not tried any as yet xxx

Ooh sorry I assumed you were on the milk diet but you have had your op!

I agree with Bev, I was told not to have chewing gum too. I do have a few sugar free sweets though just not too many as they can have a laxative effect lol....can be helpful if you are constipated though XX

No gum whatsoever whether you swallow it or not.

Chewing gum stimulates gastric acid which can cause stomach ulcers which will hurt like hell...

If he wants to chew minty goodness how about s/f chewy soft mints for the odd treat?

Thanks Julie, didnt know that will make sure he doesnt have any xx
