Salty tast in my mouth from diagnosed with Sjogren's

So far, the salty taste seems to come and go, and only when I am drinking water…but with dry mouth, that means drinking a lot of water! I use very little salt (if any) in my cooking, so not really noticing the salty taste there (yet)! Fortunately, no sour aftertaste.
Hoping this salty problem is a temporary glitch….🤞

@thisnthat Great that you don't have the salty taste all the time but yes, it is annoying to taste salt when drinking water!! My dentist told me that with dry mouth, which I have too, water only helps for a few minutes and then evaporates. She said it's better to use the biotene or other products that are made for dry mouth because they provide a coating that stays much longer than water. I didn't like the gel but I do use biotene rinse and trident gum which has xylitol. There are also two different pills that some people take that make you produce more saliva but my insurance doesn't pay for them and they didn't help the salty taste for me.... Good luck!!!!
