dry mouth at night

[trifle59]

why is my mouth dry at night , i get a coated tongue.I use nasal spray to clean out sinus .

It is unbearable at night i feel like i am getting no help at all and dont know what to do.

I sm going to try dehydration sachets today ,

I have a tortuous colon with redundant loops and lower bowel poblems.. I had helicobater a couple of mouths ago and need to retest this. I get digestive i/ acid reflux especially about 8pm in the evening as food has trouble digestion.

I also am going to test for SIBO but cannot do the test until i have been off laxatives a certain time which is virtually impossible as do not want to get blocked in colon .

Please help if you read this as feeling desperate.

I have acid reflux quite badly, I also have a dry mouth, dark coating on tongue and a nasty taste in mouth. I think it's the acid and/or medication I'm taking that causes it.

Ive been on Lansoprazole for 2 months now and realise I keep waking with a dry mouth. Wonder if its a side effect of the meds?

Hi, if possible try to have your main meal at lunchtime or earlier in the evening, this may aid your digestion. I have similar problems and don't eat anything after 6.30 p.m., just sips of water or a few boiled sweets if my mouth is dry. Also, have your bedroom window open an inch or so overnight as dry air can also cause dry mouth and throat.

I went through the same thing, sinus issues and dry mouth. It's pepsin that's coming up. Here's a few things I did and it works.

I did this about 5 times a day, You take white vinegar and put it in a a glass and sniff it sounds crazy but the study I read it worked and it really did. Next you take white vinegar and dilute it in water and gargle with it especially before bed. You will notice a difference by the 3rd day.

Then get a product called allday mouth spray to keep your mouth moist through the night.

Grapefruit seed extract is really good for your sinuses look it up, that helps a lot.

I may not be much help. I have a dry mouth every night. I thought it was caused by amitryptiline which I take for neuropathy in my feet, also have a hiatus hernia, and acid reflux, which I take a PPI and Gaviscon for.I think I have just decided I have to live with it now.
