"A US team found chewing gum seemed to speed up the return of normal bowel function, and therefore help shorten hospital stays."

so I guess I will bring a lot of chewing gum for my RPLND .

Chewing gum and bloating . .

hmmmm . .

I just learned that chewing gum may cause more bloating by
swallowing air while chewing.

Strange . . I don't feel that I am swallowing air at all when chewing gum. I wonder if there is way to chew gum without
swallowing air . . . Maybe I will stop breathing when chewing or something
