At the beginning of this article, we have raised the point of opting for 100%-sugar-free gum to avoid the effects of sugary gum. But this suggested solution may not work for everyone, especially for people who are diagnosed with digestive problems and stomach issues.

If you are diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome and currently following an IBS diet or having an IBS treatment, chewing gum is not even something to think about.

In fact, in case you have IBS, you have to stay away from anything sugary or contains any amount of sugar whatsoever. Try to integrate sugar-less healthy snacks, foods, and drinks in your diet.
