I can't chew gum


I've had this problem for as long as I can remember, basically since I've tried chewing gum for the first time. As soon as the gum loses its taste, my brain tricks me into thinking that I have a weird non-food item in my mouth and tells my body to get rid of it ASAP, which results in gagging.

My longest chewing session has never lasted longer than 10 minutes. It sucks, and I have no idea how I can learn to last longer. No pun intended.
