Nothing extreme there. Try some fruit periodically throughout day; apples oranges and at night some sliced lemon and lime in tonic water with ice. See how you get on. I have decomposed liver giving me trouble all over but I’m on so much fruit I don’t get dry mouth...no wonder😊

Hi Dogbot here I would be interested as well I have had dry mouth for years and have been told it’s probably a side effect from medication but my medication has changed so much 🤔.

Paderico in reply to catchcoolrj

So many people say different things,, I have asked every Doctor I have had a ings college they all say somthing different and these are highly quallifide Gentlemann so WHO KNOWS if you come across a reasonable explanition please let meknow, personally I think it has something to do with Liver, but I am not a medical professionall but have not had an answer for 5 years.

ALL MY BEST WISHES...

I suffered terribly with a dry mouth and thirst pre transplant. I always had to have some boiled sweets to suck or a drink with me.

What disease u had??

TJB7 profile image
TJB7 in reply to catchcoolrj

I had NASH, non alcoholic liver diesease, which caused cirrosis and portal hypertension and varices and eventually Heptatic Encephalopathy, which made me eligible to go on the transplant list.

I found sitting with a bowl of crushed ice and munching through that helped better than just drinking fluids.
