I really doubt its a mental problem. I NEVER had problems with gum! My dad hated it and wouldnt let me or my brothers chew it so we did behind his back ;) I just started happening after my surgery. I wonder whats different or similar about our situation… Hmmmm very puzzeling. Odd a bit too!

I mean, when you chew food, your gag reflex doesn’t go off, right? So then, gum at the front might not be an issue…?

I kind of just want the choice! And I guess it’d keep me entertained for a while..and I just want to be able to chew gum!

willard… eek…I still have my tonsils…but that sounds icky..

I had my tonsils removed last year (im 21 by the way so that hurt like a biotch!) After they tell you to chew gum to strenghten your throat muscles. Ever since then… gum has made me gag after chewing it for a few mintues. UNLESS! Its the right kind. I go for the Polar Ice gum… very minty and doesnt make me gag!
