Jilly, I have always understood chewing gum to be hard to digest. I used to eat lots when I was doing exams and it gave me tummy ache. Well done on losing over a stone - I wish I could!

chewing makes your tummy think food is coming - so it gets ready and makes acid to aid digestion this is how it was explained to me...and if that acid has nothing to digest it can cause indigestion.
