Glad to help. I doubt that xylitol sweetened gum will give you gas. Xylitol is a natural sugar-alcohol (the -ol ending is a dead giveaway) that is known to prevent dental caries. Even if you chew it for a brief while & then spit it out, it'll help remove that dry mouth feeling for quite a while. Give it a try - just look for Trident's Caries Control gum.
