Like the others said ... the ingredients sound safe, but Heather recommends against chewing gum because it can cause gas from swallowing air. However, when I'm C I've found that chewing gum can actually help me go. I'm not sure why exactly. There's a study somewhere in the IBS research library about chewing gum helping bowel motility after colon surgery, but I don't know if a reason was given why it helped.
