| Re: I need gum! I am pretty sure that gum is not on the induction acceptable food list. I really urge you to commit yourself to a clean induction for 2 weeks. You are worth dedicating that amount of time to yourself and your health. See what I am saying?? Not to give up gum forever...but just for 2 weeks...of course by the time you complete a clean 2 week induction I am hoping you will find out that you don't 'need' it as much as you thought. But if you do then you can add it back in after the 2 weeks and see what it does to your body. JMO

| Re: I need gum! The comments have forced me to reflection. I suppose my word choice of "needing" gum was incorrect. It is just a habit for me- keeps me from chewing my nails, eating, or fidgeting in other ways. Plus it keeps my breath fresh, as I work closely with my high school students. I will try to do without. Thanks. I am really new to this lifestyle. |

| Re: I need gum! I think I read that the act of chewing can cause some people to have an insulin spike as the body prepares itself to process food.

| Re: I need gum! If it's a breath freshening issue, pop a travel size of mouthwash in your purse or briefcase and have a swish of that when you need to. I have one at work and bring it home to refill as neccesary. |
