I recently quit nicorete gum/lozengers. I was under the impression that they were the root cause of bloating. It's been ~19 days and I don't miss the nicotene at all but my stomach is still bloated. It looks like I am preggers. I do chew a lot of gum/cough drops to suffice my oral fixation habit. They are sugar free and I read all about Sorbitol which is likely to cause bloating but I have laid off the candy. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what could be the cause of this bloating? I am a tall, thin girl and I hate this gut I am sporting around. (I still weigh the same so its definately not a weight gain). Any comments are greatly appreciated.
