Sjogrens patients, saliva issues, flares?

I was having saliva issues for over a year. When my Gastroenterologist put me on Digestive enzymes (ZenPep) to help my gut digest food my dry mouth went away.

My mouth symptoms were so bad that i was getting multiple mouth ulcers daily. It would be worth looking into.

For mouth ulcers, my rheumatologist recommended two tabs Folate 666mcg each and one tab N-Acetyl-L-Cystine 600 mg per day. Both over the counter. This has helped me tremendously with the mouth ulcers. When I forget to take those, they come back. You might want to check with your doctor if this would interact with any of your meds but it doesn’t seem to have caused any problems.
