I take XyliMelts for dry mouth and it really works. Xylitol is a natural product and my dentist says it may even help prevent cavities Hope this helps

@rexsan20 I found this article published by the National Institutes of health, that talks about dry eyes and mouth, the autonomic nervous system, and Sjögren’s syndrome. A good portion is dense and scholarly, but there is enough to understand.

Here is another article by this Dr. Driscoll that you mentioned and it’s easier to read.

Is this similar to the podcast you talked about?

I use Refresh Eye Drops during the day. Before bed and if I get up at night, I use Refresh Eye Gel. I use these products that have NO preservatives. This is very important. For my dry mouth I use Biotene Spray, right before bed. You can, also, get this in a gel tube. I do have Biotene Lozenges that seem to help but only short term. I am trying not to take another prescription medication. I hope this helps. These products are not cheap but they help.

When I am home, I eat watermelon for dry mouth, and because biotine, doesn’t help me much, I chew Wrigleys double mint, gum. I’m allergic to the chemicals in sugarless gum. I brush my teeth three times a day after each meal.
