Is it possible to be allergic to gum?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The body can have an allergic reaction to many substances, however, your body may just be 'sensitive' to the components of the gum you are chewing. One example is: the cinnamon in big red gum causes many people to experience pain and redness of the tongue and cheeks.
