Same here I have had dry mouth / white tongue for 6 months. They've given me a medication to help produce saliva. But that does not take care of the bitterness salty taste in my mouth. I'm going to 3 ENTs been tested for children's disease and lupus. So they are sending me to a oral specialist in Boston bring them in women's hospital in June. I live in Maine dentist don't even know what to do with me. Good luck

@synthiame Yes, several of us have posted about a constant salty or bitter taste or both, that no doctor has been able to cure or even know what is causing it. Is your taste problem all day or only when you are eating. I am okay for the most part when I eat except for really salty foods which taste even saltier but my taste issues last all day. I have tried the medications that produce saliva but they do not help and I have tried everything that all the different specialists have recommended without any success. I do have Sjogren's disease but those patients seems to have no taste at all, or the taste is bad only when they are eating, not all day. Let us know if the oral specialist comes up with a diagnosis or at least some treatments that actually work.
