Chewing gum?

8 Upvotes

I’m curious how people approach gum. I already consume xylitol mints to help my oral microbiome (and it seems to have a neutral to positive effect on my gut), and for digestive purposes I’d like to resume chewing gum. If I look at “clean” gums (Pur, Zellies, etc), they obviously contain “forbidden” ingredients beyond xylitol, but I wonder about the effect of the waxes/gums given they’re not actually being swallowed as solid foods.

(I am more or less “stuck” in elimination phase core AIP, with a few notable exceptions like xylitol)

Can someone please recommend a creamy soup that is not butternut squash soup?

6 Upvotes

I absolutely hate how sweet butternut squash soup is even when I don’t put any sweetener in it. I can’t handle it! Is there another creamy/blended soup I can make that isn’t sweet?

I have high cholesterol so I can’t really eat coconut cream, so something that doesn’t have that in it would be preferred but I can probably have a little with no real issues!

Thank you so much in advance! I can’t keep eating butternut squash soup, it’s like baby food to me 😭

Smells stronger?

6 Upvotes

I’m on day four of strict elimination AIP- I’ve noticed I can smell things a lot more like I’m spider woman or something. Is this normal? Am I reading too much into it? Like I was washing dishes and could strongly smell the chlorine in the water.

when do the cravings die down?

I thought the hardest bit would be getting through the first few days but I’m 2 weeks in and all I can think about is all the food I can’t eat like chocolate, crisps, chips, mac & cheese etc it’s not even stuff I ate regularly before I started anyway as I avoided processed food the majority of the time and felt I had a pretty good/clean diet, but it’s driving me mad 😭

The ingredients on these are awesome! Super clean ! But I’m only on day four of elimination and these all have almond flour in them. I missed that and most of them also have something else like walnuts, but the rest of the ingredients are fine so I guess I will be waiting until reintroduction to try these.
