Is there anything for...

[Blayzed4Life]

Are there any products that can help me produce more saliva? I have a hard time eating food thats rather dry. If I try to swallow the food it sometimes gets stuck in my throat, so I end up chewing forever which also makes it hard to swallow because it gets super dry. So do any of you know if theres anything I can take that will help me produce more saliva?

 

Thanks in advance for any replies

Ditto.

 

Water does the trick. I wouldn't go for any products any day.

Yeh drinking water helps. You should also try chewing gum (when your not eating obviously) that helps to produce saliva

suck on a button, preferably a metal button, it stimulates the salivary glands, obviously not while your eating and be careful not to swallow the button

Sniffing vinegar works with me.

it might not work for you, but try it out anyway.

It could just be my allergy to vinegar lol. But sniffing vinegar makes me produce WAY too much saliva, and I might even drool! lol.

 

Apart from that, keep your fluids up. If it gets too much to bear, ask a doctor.

I believe the poster was looking for a more long term solution. Rather than making his eyes water and have a strange craving for Fish n Chips.

 

Plenty of fluids, water preferibly.

 

The metal button sounds.. dangerous. I don't recommend that.
