Dry mouth remedies

I keep a thermal cup with lid but also a towel next to it because I have also knocked cups over. I wish the companies that make dry mouth products could do something about the stinging. They are all too sweet for me and diarrhea is a problem. Back to the water though. Instead of swallowing just hold it in your mouth as long as you can. I could feel it being absorbed. I lift my tongue to get underneath. Turing the day I suck on ice at home.

Reply to @elmay: hi el. I have gerd and ibs, and acid stomach, along with dry mouth and mouth sores as a result of dry mouth...I use the Biotene and am grateful for it...it's the best remedy I've found. My secret for the gerd, acid stomach and ibs is probiotics! Since I started using them my ibs symptoms went away, and with them the gerd! If i've had it, it's only been once in the last nine months! If I stop taking the probies for a week the ibs and stomach problems return!ll. I take a reasonably priced brand: Nature's Bounty, Probiotics 10. I take two in the a.m.. Best of luck, El!!

XyliMelts. Suggested by my rheumatologist for my Sjogrens. Available everywhere and Amazon. Can't sleep without them. If I forget, I wake up and know exactly what I've forgotten. They stimulate saliva and gently adhere to gum between molar and cheek. Non-acidic. No wheat, fish, eggs, etc. Can be used in daytime too. They're great and a necessity for me.

I had to stop taking it also a couple of years ago also! Have no idea what to use see my dentist next week. Hoping he can suggest something. Also a new dietician that I hope will help.

I use Membrasin capsules for dry eyes, mouth and skin and they help. It contains sea buckthorn berry oil.

I have sjogren't too. My dentist told me to add a mouthwash that does not have alcohol in for night, For morning, I use Bioten mouthwash,

I also have Sjögren's and I use the zylimelts. They help overnight. My mouth is very sensitive to most foods. Even water is painful at times. I don't see any sores in my mouth but any fruit with acid is painful to eat and any food that is crunchy or dry is painful. I can't use some of the mouthwash alternatives because they burn too much. Even the Biotene without alcohol burns. I might check into having some allergy tests done. I don't know what to do!

I have read that Burning Mouth can go with sjogren's. I want to ask my doctor about that because my mouth feels hot all the time. https://www.nidcr.nih.gov/health-info/burning-mouth

Hi! I also have Sjogrens and dry mouth. I have been taking a Rx called Evoxac for many years. At first I only took one capsule per day, but the symptoms increased so now intake it three times per day. I also fill a Turvis cup with ice and water every night and keep on nightstand bc I wake up with very dry mouth during the night. Does anyone have trouble swallowing certain foods or pills?

I use XyLiMelts at bedtime. I found the biotene didn't work for me. You place the brown side against a back tooth. Hold for 10 seconds and go to bed. It lasts for me about 4 hours, but I still have a moist mouth in the morning. I don't miss a night. Good luck. (Can purchase on Amazon.)
