Suggestions for dry mouth

[Maria3667]

Hi Vaxal,
Thank you for your concern, my flare has calmed down somewhat. Never realized how important Evening Primrose Oil is for us - until I ran out.... Now back to 2x1300 mg capsules and saliva has improved.

I'd like to try the Saliwel device but am afraid it's another snake oil - already flushed so much money down the drain. My molars already hurt so won't try chewing on ice cubes!

I spoke to this dentist as well as his colleagues in Virgina.  Please read the newspaper article from Bon Air Vi.

This guys has invented something.  He is looking for people to take part in a clinical trial.  He has worked since 1999 on this after getting cancer.  It is not a cure but could provide relief

Now the Saliwell, i looked into it by calling dentists who took part in a study.  They sadly said it did not work

Maria:  in a flare...or during a time I have to take an antihistamine or drying nasal spray...I start with my Xylimelts.  When I was first dxed these dissolving tablets could upset my stomach.  Not anymore.  If I know I have to talk more often than I do on an every day basis, I will lodge one of these tablets along my gum line, and voila.  Saliva substitute appears.  If I need add'l.  substitute like in the middle of the night I use Biotene Oral Gel.  I use that when I don't want to consume additional water.  Just hints which help me.  Hope this info has some value to you.

there is a girl on here that used the saliwell device and she said it really worked! in fact she said the effects are cummulative so she was able to stop using it after a period of time.    i am trying to order it but it is not available in the US yet,   If anyone lives outside the US you are able to buy the saliwell pen.  I think it is worth a shot.
