Help Can I chew gum while fasting for sn?

[HopefulSleep]

I am currently fasting but I would like some taste so I thought about chewing gum but I am worried thatsome of the sugar will be swallowed.

Chewing gum stimulates salivation and releases digestive enzymes. Eating is signaled to the body and the digestive process is activated.
This can cause hunger. Of course you will swallow sugar. Sugar increases the production of gastric acid. This can increase the risk of vomiting.
For this reason, I would advise not to use chewing gum.

edit:
I forgot something. If there is a lot of stomach acid in your stomach but you don't eat anything, this can cause stomach ache.

Best wishes

What I said applies to chewing gum. If you don't eat anything and don´t use chewing gum, no additional gastric acid is produced.

Regardless of the method, I would always follow the guide.

I think Vizzys guide states 8 hours fasting is enough

Regardless of the method: I would rely on a longer proven guide than on a guide modified by a single person.

Melon contains a lot of sugar. I explained to you what happens when you eat sugar. Your decision.

It's not embarrassing if you realize you can't follow the guide, stop the process, and either choose another method or do it later.
This would be better than possibly failing (maybe with damage).

How long do you think I should fast?

Should the last meal be without much sugar generelly or was the problem that I stopped fasting?

Which guide should I use instead of vizzys guide?

Your questions indicate to me that you have not thoroughly researched your chosen method. You have already started the process, but in the middle of the process you ask which is the better guide. Most members used Stan´s guide. The problem is, that you stopped fasting.

My advice to avoid failure with possible permanent health damage: Stop the process, inform yourself thoroughly and choose a new date.

I say all this regardless of how I feel about the SN method in general, only concerning your health.

Stans guide states the same thing for fasting that 8 hours are recommended but it depends on peoples own metabolism.
I can still fast it would still be 16 hours fasting then.

I will rather do it wednesday and now eat something big the last time then it would be 37 hours but maybe that would be too long.

then it would be 37 hours but maybe that would be too long

As I said before, I would always follow a proven guide. In the guide you will find all the details about the process. I assume that you have also read and understood everything about the risks of the method. In another thread you asked which date would be more suitable because then your parents are not there. In another thread you ask if you can flush food down the toilet. All the questions in this thread and in the other two threads show me that you are not sure about the process. For this reason, I again advise you to read more thoroughly about the method and its risks. I have nothing further to add to what I have already said.

Most guides state that 8 hours is mostly enough but it depends on the own metabolism
