@~*glass_owl*~ and all:

I don't know anything about gum chewing and other chewing unfortunately. But i just want to let you know that i am sorry to read that you are bothered by this and hope investigations with your a dentist can shed some light on it. You've also heard from Unaluna about a mouth-guard, which might be an option.

Of course, this being an overeating/binge-eating disorder forum, you can look into the two welcome posts that are stickied to the top of the board to read into what this disorder if and if you indeed have it, or if your excess weight is due to other, more benign, problems.

You're certainly welcome here, if it suits you!

Ta!

Jane.
