Chewing Gum & heartburn
Besides eliminating garlic breath, chewing gum after a meal might have other advantages, research suggests.
People with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms experienced heartburn relief when they chewed a piece of sugar-free gum for 30 minutes after a meal.
Chewing gum stimulates the salivary flow rate. Any acid that accumulates in the gut is washed away and cleared more quickly. The clearance of acid improves GERD symptoms.
