The FastDay Forum

Hi,
What are your thoughts on chewing gum on a fast day? Do you think it makes you feel hungrier or set your tummy rumbling?
It was nice to have a piece of gum as I drove home, it freshened my mouth and I knew I would be able to have a cuppa when I got in (no chance to drink during the day, I know that is not recommended but it is what I have been used to for 5 years) and evening meal not long after.
TIA, Effie

I chew sugar-free gum all throughout work on fast days and it makes me feel better

I like my minty chewing gum on fast days, otherwise I worry that I might have death breath! I normally avoid artificial sweeteners but I make an exception for gum and smints and they don't make me any hungrier.
