in reply to @kikib Have you tried those lozenges for dry mouth that can be found in the mouthwash section? I use the ACT brand and they are very helpful. I agree that the Biotene is a waste of money, since it does nothing for me.

No haven't tried them yet. I will have to check the ingredients though because any of the sugar alcohols will upset my stomach. Thanks for the advice!

Just a heads up that ACT lozenges, which I'd used all the time, are acidic and can cause cavities. I learned that the hard way. I saw an oral medicine specialist at Tufts who taught me about the importance of more basic (vs acidic) substances for dryness.
