José Manuel Felices, doctor: “Nunca comas chicle después de comer, retrasa tu digestión y te pone la barriga como un globo”

Doctor José Manuel Felices has advised against consuming chewing gum immediately after meals, warning that the habit delays digestion and causes abdominal bloating and gas.

The medical recommendation addresses a frequent post-meal discomfort in which individuals experience a sensation of a full stomach and abdominal pressure, potentially turning the after-lunch or dinner period into an uncomfortable experience.
