How dose chewing gum cause bloating?!
Question: How dose chewing gum cause bloating?
Over the past three or four days, I have noticed my midsection was becoming rounder than usual. Other parts on my body are normal but my abdomen looks swollen. I tried to not mind it but for the first time in my entire life, I looked down and couldn't see my toes. Only a large belly with a tight pink shirt too small for me. It used to fit me normally but now I have gotten so big, the shirt ends an inch or two above my belly button. I asked a person what was happening to me and she said gum chewing can cause bloating. I finally had a diagnosis. Since thursday I have been addicted to chewing mounds of gum. The was the reason I have grown so large. But I see how strange how gum chewing causes bloating. Why dose it?
Answers:
i dont know fully, but what i do know is that when you chew the enzymes in your mouth start the digestion process a little bit and the acid in your tummy gets ready to break down the food, and if your not swallowing anything but you keep chewing the cycle repeats and that may be why but im not sure..
Some artificial sweeteners such as aspartame can cause water retention.
