Title: gummy bears!!!!!
Post by: irish on December 02, 2010, 09:01:59 PM
I had to go some place a while back and didn't have any sugar free cough drops to suck on for moisture. I was in Quik Trip and looked around in a hurry cause hubby was waiting in the car. I saw some sour gummy bears and bought them. Boy, that is a new experience. They are so good to suck on and they really pucker you up. Sure a lot better than sucking on cough drops and lemon drops.

Just a suggestion as every little thing we can find to help is worth while. Irish ;D

Ah Irish, now you know my secret!!!!  

I'm another gummy lover from way back (the bears that is, and yes, they've been around that long! ;)), and I'm so glad that now there is little "guilt" when I eat them now (now to convince the doctors)! :D

Catilee2,
Are you talking about the Gummy LifeSavers! I love those things so much that my husband has suggested maybe I need to be in treatment for my addiction.  ;D

I am sorry to hear that. I know the feeling...my teeth were literally crumbling from the time I was 17 years old...finally had the last of them pulled when I was 27 years old. I got so sick of being lectured by dentists about how I wasn't taking care of my teeth that I told the last one to solve his problem and pull them. I was obsessive about brushing and flossing but it seemed like the more I did, the worse my teeth became...so bad that pieces of tooth came out whenever I flossed...horrible feeling. The infections became unbearable and I usually ended up in the emergency room.

Wow, i love gummy bears, I had to have like these special sweets, but they were red and supposed to help and get more saliva in your mouth, but it was making my mouth dry, so i just stuck to gummy and sour sweets, and they helped! I love sour sweets. :)

Be careful of the sugar free ones..they have some with sorbitol and mannitol that will most likely upset your tummy big time...I love them but
stay away from them for the sake of my teeth. I also found that the sour gummies help with sore throats?

I have recently started eating swedish fish [the lil red jelly fish]. I can't seem to get enough of them! I never realized that they were actually moistening my mouth. However, since the SJS has caused my teeth to weaken and break, and subsequently be pulled [3], I probably shouldn't choose them as my "drug of choice"  :D
