• 0 0 A: I understand most physicians approach and how they may differ from your own.  Per the manufacturer of this mastic gum ," We are not aware of any research studies involving mastic gum and children. Therefore, we will not be able to provide guidance. Having said that, mastic gum has a very long history of folkloric use in the Mediterranean for stomach distress. Mastic gum is a type of fiber, a resinous material from a tree. 
  You might consider purchasing mastic chewing gum for your child. It can be found at Greek markets or online." Vote down - Vote up
