Is it possible to be allergic to chewing-gum?

On a few separate occasions now I've been hit with an acute stomach-ache, and am trying to figure out why. Don't worry, I don't rely on Internet diagnosis and if it persists I *am* going to see a doctor, but I'm trying to eliminate possibilities first, and odd though it sounds, I'd like to know if anyone's ever heard of being allergic to chewing-gum. (Sugar-free spearmint, if that's relevant.) Wikipedia doesn't seem to mention anything, but I can't think of any other common link between the occasions when this has happened.



Any information would be much appreciated.

If you know the different chemical reactions taking place simultaneously in your body every day, you will know anything can go wrong at any time with any of the components of the reactions. And the fact that it has not been reported before does not mean it does not happen. I would have suggested that you try the chewing gum again and watch the reactions, but I think it's safer to stay off the gums for now and see if the aches re-occur.
Reply:it is possible to be allergic to anything.
Reply:Yes, one can be allergic to anything you can think exists. I met a young lady who was allergic to tooth paste. She had to clean her mouth and teeth with some kind of liquid.
Reply:Well, it does kind of depend on the kind of gum you are chewing. There might be something in the spearmint gum that you may be allergic to. I would try buying another kind.. and see if it has the same effect on you as the other kind does.



Good luck!
Reply:check the ingredients, see if it contains E951 (aspartame) or E955 (sucralose) then google both of them for more information.
