Cane sugar, beet sugar, and corn syrup are popular sweeteners. Sugar-free gums use sugar alcohols such as xylitol or artificial sweeteners such as aspartame. Moazzaz, R., &Bartlett, D. (2005, November). The effect of chewing sugar-free gum ongastro-esophageal reflux [Abstract]. Journalof Dental Research, 84(11), 1062-1065 Peppermint typically occurs in moist habitats, including stream sides and drainage ditches. Being a hybrid, it is usually sterile, producing no seeds and reproducing only vegetatively, spreading by its runners. [4] [19] Many mainstream gums have employed cheaper, artificial sweeteners like aspartame to achieve the satisfying sweetness we count on in a gum. However, these sweeteners aren't natural and some people prefer to avoid them. Unless you are diabetic, try to choose gum that uses plant-based sugars like honey, agave, or table sugar (sucrose).

A study from 2011 published in Pain showed why peppermint might help people with irritable bowel syndrome, or IBS. The compounds in peppermint actually activate an anti-pain channel in the colon. This channel, called TRPM8, may reduce the pain linked to eating some spicy foods like mustard or chili, according to researchers. Since then, multiple studies have confirmed peppermint oil to be a beneficial treatment for IBS. a b Pihl, Kristi (24 September 2012). "Washington is No. 1 mint oil producer in U.S." Tri-City Herald.

Aline Charabaty, MD, director of the Center of Inflammatory Bowel Disease at Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, D.C., recommends using coated capsules of peppermint oil. “The enteric-coated form of peppermint oil bypasses the stomach and is released in the small bowel,” she says, “so the enteric-coated form should not affect the gastroesophageal sphincter.” Dr. Charabaty says the clinical evidence is pretty clear that coated capsules –available at health food stores, grocery stores, and online – are the way to go. “Studies that showed benefit in improving IBS symptoms used two tablets of enteric-coated peppermint oil twice a day for at least four weeks,” she says.
