• Answering with multiple sites was helpful. Zappgum was the best of those because it has the most flavors to choose from. Thank you.

I have no idea, but my boyfriend cannot chew gum with aspartame in it. I would love to find an answer to that myself.

This sounds like a shameless attempt for a company to get a plug but I'll bite:

Not only a plug, but they also got you to search for and look at their website. Brilliant.

You can find Spry-brand xylitol gum various places on the web. It comes in three flavors: fresh fruit (think "juicy fruit"), spearmint, and peppermint. The ingredients are: Xylitol, gum base, natural flavors, glycerin, gum arabic, soy lecithin, and beeswax. I have tried Spry. It is okay but the flavor doesn't last as long as I'd like.

Here are a couple of shops that carry it and other brands of Xylitol gum (just type "spry" or "xylitol" into the search box on each site):

http://www.vitaminshoppe.com

http://www.swansonvitamins.com

I have ordered from both of these shops and haven't had any bad experiences with them.

If you'd like to look for other brands, try going to http://froogle.com and use the following search terms:

xylitol gum -aspartame

The last term is "minus aspartame" which means throw out all of the sites that mention aspartame. This will remove pages that list aspartame in the ingredients. Unfortunately, it will also remove pages that say "aspartame free" so you may want to try the search without the -aspartame term too.

Some other aspartame-free brands include: Ricochet, B-Fresh, Zapp, Clen Dent, and Xlear Dent.

There's two things you should know regarding your question: 1) most chewing gums in markets are sugar-free (with "high intensity sweeteners" and "polyols" for flavor), and 2) xylitol is a naturally occuring sugar-alcohol so all gums with xylitol have "natural xylitol."

I'd be wary about buying gum from internet companies because who knows if they import their gum and what kind of quality control they have. The only chewing gum that is ADA-approved is Orbit and Trident (and maybe one other) for their clinically proven reduction in dental caries. If I can recall correctly, these gums have aspartame and are not recommended for people with phenylketonuria.

Here's a website with several options:

http://www.homesteadmarket.com/xylitol_gum.html

They carry most of the brands I've seen, except Xyliburst, which I suspect has a new name.
