Cotton Mouth Anyone?

[newgrandmother 725]

ok am i alone. i am 11 weeks out and for the past month i feel like i have been eaten cotton. at night its worse i wake up with cotton mouth grosssss. please tell me i am not alone with this. i drink all of my Water and then some. i wonder if its supplements or ketosis effect?

[ozeedonkee 145]

Probably ketosis. I'm the same except my breath is pretty revolting too

I have that issue at night so I sleep with a bottle of Water on the bedside. It's not uncommon for me to wake up a couple times at all, drink, and go back to sleep. During the day it's much easier to deal with. No idea if it gets any better, though

definately have dry mouth and dragon breath... I think it's Ketosis as well... Thank goodness for sugar free breath mints !!!

[ozeedonkee 145]

Ugh. I went and bought some breath strips. Pretty potent and will get me out of trouble

I keep Water by the bed too

I'm Definitely NOT looking forward to this when I start my pre-op VLCD! I've done a 30 day juice fast and also a VLCD in the past and I remember this feeling well. First time it happened to me, I felt like my teeth were made of caterpillars and no amount of brushing could fix it. eeewwwwwwww.

googled it and its part of ketosis

[suzthebrit 146]

It's definitely ketosis and its definitely gross! I have found the Tums Freshers are fantastic! They are really minty, help with nasty tummy and are full of calcium! Win, win, win. My question is does it ever go away?

Try squeezing some lemon into the Water.

Biotene works real good. I also have sjogrens syndrome which leaves my mouth dry. Biotene is a toothpaste and mouth wash. Maybe that would work for you as well.
