Hi , Thanks for replying to me post. It's helpful commiserating with others who are dealing with the same thing. I don't think I have Sjorgren's because I have no other symptoms other than dry mouth/tongue and terrible taste. My next step will be a trip to the neurologist I suppose. The ENT knew nothing, nor did my OBGYN or dentist. I also chew Trident Sugarless Bubble Gum and I use the Xylitol Mints as well. I also bought the Coral Toothpaste with Xylitol & Nano Silver Foam, which is as helpful as the bubble gum. I recommend you try this. The mint is best I think. Unlike you, when I eat, there is no salty taste and my mouth appears normal. It's only when there is nothing in my mouth that it is dry and tastes salty. When I move my tongue around in my mouth, especially under the tongue, I experience the most salty taste. It is utterly baffling. 🙁
