I uses to use halls and chew gum and thought I would really miss them. But I don't. I have not found anything to replace them. I just sip on water that has lemon slices or mint leaves.

After thought.......I have not had a cold for over 2 years now. I think it is from eating healthly. There is research out there that states sugar lowers our imunne system. Interesting.

Hi all,
: My throat has been so scratchy and
: almost raw feeling this week, and
: all I want to do is suck on cough
: drops all day. But I know they're
: just like candy, so I'm looking
: for alternatives.
: Also, when my throat gets like this,
: it seems to make my breath bad, so
: I reach for the gum. But that also
: feels non-program-friendly, since
: it's really having sugar between
: meals.
: What does anyone do for their sore
: throats or occasional bad breath?
