Thanks Silverlady.... I had a blood test for Sjogrens Syndrome and it was negative. I am also being treated for my gastic disease. I take carafate 3 times a day. I am allergic to the protonpump ihibators. I have been on a gluten free diet for 8 years also. I will try some of the gel that you suggested. Thank you so much. Sherri

I too have burning mouth, but mine is part of the Small Fiber Sensory Neuropathy caused by Sjogren's Syndrome.
I've heard others on the Sjogren's forum say they did get relief from their burning mouth by having their gastric symptoms treated. Please explore this problem. Have they diagnosed your gastric problems?
Also you might ask for testing for Sjogren's Syndrome.
One of the things I've found that helps mine is Biotene Gel made by Oral Balance. I use a small amount to coat my mouth. I believe they make a spray also.
Good luck,
Billye
