Sjogrens patients, saliva issues, flares?

No unfortunately

For mouth ulcers, my rheumatologist recommended two tabs Folate 666mcg each and one tab N-Acetyl-L-Cystine 600 mg per day. Both over the counter. This has helped me tremendously with the mouth ulcers. When I forget to take those, they come back. You might want to check with your doctor if this would interact with any of your meds but it doesn’t seem to have caused any problems.

I have just discovered that I have Sjogren's Disease and have a dry mouth. I am still going for further tests but thank you all for any help. and any futher assistance would be greately appreciated.
Will try follow the 50 carbs a day diet.
Thanks

I have just posted but then I saw your post. I had dry mouth and went to an ENT specialist and she discovered that there was no saliva coming from my 2 main salivary glands situated one in each cheek. There are 3 salivary glands. The 2 main ones are situated one in each cheek and the third one near the back of your throat/neck area I think it is. The salivary gland in the throat/neck area however is still functioning but it is not the main one. Hope this helps you to understand. At least that is how I understood it but talk under correction,

Hi @lindi and Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! You’ve found a great site where everyone shares what works or doesn’t in managing sjogren’s. Here is another discussion-one of many:

Can I ask how you found Connect?

Dear Becky
Thank you for your hugs. Brought tears to my eyes.
At present I only have the saliva sjogrens and my kidney marker has dropped but hopefully it is nothing. Going to keep an eye on it.
Telling you this because I could have tears. Thanks.

Dear Becky
I decided to go to the Mayo Clinic site and google Sjogrens as there is always helpful information to be found there. I then came across this site and decided to join. Thanks

You might find help on this website…

Hi there, I was diagnosed in 2017 with Sjogrens. I have no saliva to speak of. I carry water wherever I go or else I chew sugarless gum. I have flares quite often so I am trying a healthy diet, low carb and no sugar. I break out in bumps on my head and they scab over quickly. This past week I got a large bump on my tongue and other ulcers in my mouth. I was wondering if the bumps and ulcers were related to the Sjogrens.

@burlingtongirl I have a scalp rash sometimes. But I haven’t had it since I was diagnosed with SS and changed my diet. If I will only eat meat, some vegetables and fruit, my SS symptoms seem to go away. I had a food sensitivity test done and avoid the foods I’m sensitive to. I also follow the autoimmune protocol diet too. When I eat the wrong foods I can tell.
