Did the gastroenterologist ever suspect LPR or Gerd? That can cause dry mouth for sure

You could try using diluted bleach as a mouthwash.
If you're unsure on doing it you can look for the thread on this website for it.

Have you been tested for Sjogrens Syndrome?

Also if you’ve never tried Xylimelts you should. I think that’s what they’re called.

[Tara]

Thank you so much for replying guys..i was feeling suicidal for the past two weeks..im so glad i found this forum.thank you so much for creating this..i know im not alone.when i do the "lick test" my saliva doesnt smell at all..im gonna go get tested for sjogrens syndrome.but i wana try the xylimelts first.

Just take a look around here take notes. I have the same problem i recently bought a mouthwash mouthspray and in the morning i use a tongue brush, tonguescraper and i drink some baking soda. I also gargle with salt. I use paradontax and natural toothpastes. I bought some betaine hcl, probiotics, chlorella pills and digestive enzymes. Still experimenting. Don't give up.

are you awake while doing your endoscopy?? and what part of body they view on endoscope????

[Tara]

Yes i was wide awake during my procedure .it wasnt painfull.but really really uncomfortable. i ddi an upper endoscopy to examine the upper part of the digestive tract.

Chronic dry mouth is called xerostomia, a condition where your mouth doesn't produce enough saliva, so talk about that with a dentist or ent, and indeed it can lead to bad breath mostly morning breath.

Also, you say you can't smell anything when you do the lick test, but you feel like others do despite holding your breath.
Have anyone told you got bad breath? Some will tell directly others will say something like "have you eaten today" or " did you eat onion?" I'm asking this because you seem to overexaggerate people's reactions, there's a condition called halitophobia where people are convinced they got bad breath despite no one around being able to smell it. Just ask a family member or a doctor if they can smell it. There are stories of people who spent 10-15 years in self isolation thinking they got BB, and no one could convince them otherwise, the problem solved when they got into therapy and learned not to read too much into any simple gesture like people scratching their noses. So, even if you feel like you got bad breath, if no one can perceive it then it's not a problem. This is similar to other conditions like anorexia, those people are fixated on the idea that they are fat and won't listen to anyone around them leading to a life of depression and basically self harm. So, just make sure others feel it too by asking them directly and not reading into their gestures.


An advice i can give you is to not be ashmed to tell doctors about your problem, for 10 years I was embarrassed to tell doctors I got bad breath so I just mentioned things like:" I think I have a cavity, I got a white tongue, I got tonsils stones,..etc." This resulted in me spending a lot of money on consultations and unnecessary tonsils,and nose surgeries.
It's only when I got the courage to tell a dentist about my chronic bad breath he checked each of my teeth and told me it's not a dental issue but probably a gastrointestinal disease. This way I found about my chronic silent reflux and keep a strict diet to keep it at bay.

I do have exact same problem as you Tara, i really dont know what to do. few weeks ago i had helicobacter pylori eradication therapy for three weeks. i still have same problem. if we shy away from informing the doctors this disease or curse how are they gonna know. if doctors dont officially know that this sickness exist how will the world find the cure for it.

I am pretty sure majority of the world have this problem in this modern age.
We need to build courage and go to the doctor or find a doctor. i know it is not easy. there is no way you can find cure. if your car emits green smoke, what you gonna do? feed it different gas? take it apart? and only your car does that, not others car. a mechanic has never heard of a car that emits red, blue or green smoke. the mechanic has not been thought such thing exist.

Likewise we need to find a doctor that is willing to dig this issue. i suffered from this for +10 years. it is very difficult. you will never be rich, you will never be with your dream partner, you will never achieve your dream job. because you need people, you have to communicate with people, you cannot have all of that without talking to people.

i think thousands of years before this "bad breath" hell did not exist. not even crooked teeth, people did not used to have crooked teeth!!. now surgically dentist are taking out wisdom teeth. i think this "bad breath" is another major modern problem.
