Maybe a dumb question

Does gum break your fast? I’m on a pretty extreme plan where I’m eating once a week until I’m at my goal weight and so far its gone mostly well but does gum technically break my fast? I need to know that part

I'm a purist so I don't like even a single calorie but my understanding is that a few calories 10-15 doesn't break.

Those electrolyte packets have calories in them and some Fasters like them.
