Salava

I use bioten spray. Nobody understands when you say you have dry mouth they just think drink something. Then i spend 10 minuets about how it does not work that way. I tried Sweets mugg root beer thats the best drink for me. Thanks Sweet. But the thing that works best for me is milk with hersheys syrup in it. It cant be regular choclate milk just hersheys syrup. Who would have figured that. God bless. David

    Hondo swears by Stoppers 4...I haven't tried it mainly for the fact I can't find it over the counter.

    I drink a lot of milk. I have managed to get down to 1%, I cannot do the skim. It's too thin. I even steep my tea in all milk or almond milk. Water not only doesn't feel very good in my mouth, but it's harder to swallow for me.

    I guess you can't get the Stoppers 4 OTC. At least I haven't been able to find it any where. When I am done with the bottles and tubes of biotene I have, I am going to order the stoppers to try.

    Has anyone found help from salogen. It is a prescription but we do think it is helping with saliva somewhat...

    I tried it, but it didn't help. But, I only had the one fried major salivary gland to try and stimulate. It made the backs of my hands sweat profusely, and my head drip with sweat when I ate, but my mouth was still as dry as dust.

    I think it's definitely worth a try, I know it does help some folks. Glad it's helping somewhat.

    My Husband takes an Rx called Evoxac 30mg 3 times a day and it help's him. He also always has a bottle of water room temperature with him everywhere he goes...uses Biotine Spray too...he was told his Saliva glands will not come back. He say's these pill's help alot, but he still cannot tolerate cold drinks like water...he will have a Shake from McDonalds now and then, but it bothers him to drink anything cold.

    Hi robin
    I used Salogen for about 6 months but did not find it helped too much for me, Hope it does better for you as we all are different.

    Don't give up hope... I am over two years post rads. I had gains on both saliva and taste all through my 2nd year..actually even now I find improved taste on things that weren't there several months ago.

    I'm probably a good 90 - 95% on both taste and saliva...
