Have you ever considered that you may have Sjogrens Syndrome ? That is one of the many things that I am dealing with. I get so dry that my lips stick to my teeth and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. Of course, that makes talking difficult. I don't make enough saliva . Also, I have dryness elsewhere..hair, skin, eyes, female area...so it isn't so easy to deal with. I use TheraBreath Dry Mouth Lozenges for dry mouth. I have a prescription eye drop for eyes and for my skin I use CeraVe healing ointment which was recommended by my dermatologist. I hope this might help someone. And if anyone else can add what has helped them, please do . Thanks !
My mom has this problem. She says Coconut Water helps her and this product.
I have dry mouth also. Can take sips of water or bottles of water all day long and it is ok, but at night it is horrid. A cough drop works as well as the products I have bought for dry mouth. Also worse, dont eat anything salty at night. Found it makes it much worse.
Doing a lot of research...1/2 tsp of salt, 1/2 tsp. of baking soda, 8 oz of water. Use as a mouthwash 3-4 times a day. Do not swallow. Next, Rx: Calphason. Finally, Ginger juice or ginger pieces. I haven't tried any yet. I have the prescription, but would rather try natural, first. Hope this helps someone!
Thank you so much. I saw another doc today and may have some good news. I'll share when I confirm!
