For the past few months now, I've been chewing a lot of gum. It helps me concentrate on coding and also takes my mind off of wanting to eat (which results into me eating less and losing a little weight). When I do this, I go through a lot of gum, anywhere between 5 - 10 sticks a day and I buy a lot of packs and usually mix up the flavors. Well I recently bought a big pack of Big Red and been chewing that a lot lately and for some reason I ended up going through like 10 sticks within a few hours. The result? My tongue is really sore and I can't really taste foods very well. I'm not sure if this is an allergic reaction or if this is normal from eating to much big red.

For those who don't know, Big Red is hot flavored gum and is very strong smelling.

Mmmm... This thread makes me miss chewing Big Red. I like that gum a lot, only one I like better is Juicy Fruit.

Now, I chewed a lot of Big Red and it caused my mouth to burn from the heat, but it's never made my tongue sore. But then, I never ate ten pieces within a few hours.

Try to cut down to about three pieces every twelve hours. Especially with Big Red.

I don't know anything about the effects of that, but if I had to guess I would say it might be due to the amount of the cinnamon your tongue is exposed to. That gum is a little spicy, which does physically affect your tongue, causing the slight burning sensation. Because of that, it almost seems like it's causing damage to your tongue and taste buds on the microscopic level. Not enough is done with one stick, but chewing as many sticks as you did in a short amount of time without giving the tongue time to recover may very well be the reason why the cinnamon has numbed your taste buds and made your tongue sore.

It does make sense that this would happen. I remember kids in school licking the wrapper of big red gum and than slapping it on their forehead, just to feel the intense pain that it causes


*Throws pack of Big Red out into the snow for some frozen hot gum*

I have a similar thing with any cinnamon flavored stuff, except I get canker sores all over my mouth instead of just a sore tongue. And I mean all over. Like 50-100 canker sores. I didn't eat for a week .

So yeah, I can understand that gum making your mouth hurt....

geeogree : That sounds... fun.

Hmmm... I would imagine Cyro is right. I would stick to chewing more mild gums (i.e. Juicy Fruit, Doublemint, etc.)

I would imagine chewing that much cinnamon gum is equal to downing a bottle of Tabasco sauce... at least the results are the same.

it was "fun".... I couldn't talk, I couldn't eat (I drank my food for a while... mostly soup), I couldn't do much but sit around my house and wait for the canker sores to go away.

geeogree : I bet you lost a few pounds from that

Speaking of cancor sores, I use to get them often, at least once a month lasting a week each. They'd get so bad that it'd hurt to eat but after I started using mouth wash every night, I haven't had one since and it's been about 2 years.

I had a similar experience with a big bag of cinnamon imperials ('red hots' in some places). Darn those post-Valentine's-Day sales!

I haven't had Big Red in a ling time, but I do remember the feeling on my tongue after chewing a stick being almost like a tiny tingly/numb with a slight sandpaper texture. I know that had I chewed more I might have ended up with the same problem David has.

i also think it's the cinnamon or something that makes the tongue kind of sore and numb.
i really love big red, but i can't chew more than 2 or 3 a day, then i really have to grant a rest to my tongue... or give it some change.

I have big red in my laptop case

I've only had one or two of them in the span of a few hours, so never had any side effects, or felt that they were at all hot.

I usually stick with some of the Wrigley's, or the mint flavored ones.

Never heard of Big Red before, but judging from effects, I'd have to say that I've chewed something similar; Hot chili flavoured gum.
All I can say is, listen to the croud; chew milder gums. The effect the chili-flavoured gum had on my (At the time) 5-year old tender mouth will last a lifetime.

Big Red is good, but It's not the kind of gum where I can chew a bunch of it at once.

Juicy Fruit is great if you want to chew a whole bunch at once, as well as big league chew, and Hubba Bubba
