Heads up that while xylitol is great for oral health, it also raises the risk of blood clotting and associated strokes and cardiovascular problems. So people at higher risk of cardiovascular or cerebovascular may want to avoid frequent use of xylitol gums or candies.

In reply to Rowena Manuel. I would suggest any gum without sugar and without mint ideally.

I would like the name of some gums that may be ok for acid relex. Trident worked for me but now with a heart problem, I have read it is one of the worse.

My nurse said that juicy fruit may be ok. It has frustose. Is that ok for me?

I am healthier than most 90 yr olds, I exercise and keep away from acid foods.

When I cough, which is now seldom, I take part of a lemon drop or a third of a piece of gum but I must change gums. That seems to help
