Dry mouth

[snookie09]

Does anyone suffer from a constant dry mouth I'm not overly thirsty with it, when I eat feels like I've not got any saliva and food feels difficult to break down if this makes sense

I used to have this for the last 3-4 years due to medicine I thought, now I don´t know , it has gone as I have gotten my blood numbers down to normal levels..... so now I think it is maybe because my blood glucose has been raised for that many years

I have dry mouth when my blood sugar is running very high-also when I am dehydrated. Try drinking water with your meal or snack.

I have the dry mouth most of the time but I have found that just one blackberry freshly picked from a bush does wonders!

Yes I constantly have a dry mouth and suck riccola sweets a lot. I thought it was from the amytriptalline that I take as a pain modifier but perhaps I am wrong.
