Help with Gum addiction

[fwebes]

Hi All,

I've completed 3 days of raw now except that I can't seem to kick the sugarfree gum habit. If anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear them. Do you think eating raw would eventually help with gum habit/cravings? The sweetener in the gum is bad for digestion and creates horrible gas at times so I'd like to quit but i seem to be addicted.

I had the same problem, addicted to gum but the artifical sugars gave me gas. So when I went Raw I just went cold turkey, no gum....in a few days I lost the desire for gum. I bought a pack not long ago and found it offensive & no longer care for it. I also took a sip of diet coke one day recently same thing...ugh...tasted like acid. Imagine I used to drink 4-6 a day and chew a pack of gum a day. Raw rocks.

You can dehydrate slices of kiwi or strawberry etc to a chewy gum-like texture and replace it with that! :)

Warmly~
