Sjogrens patients, saliva issues, flares?

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.

I've read that the bumps are related to the Sjogren's....
