Carol,
I have a pretty limited diet due to the Sjogrens disease I have, and my extremely dry mouth. I looked at the items you listed above and if I cut them out, it will pretty much eliminate most of what I can eat. This mouth burning started about the same time the Sjogrens did. It was the first symptom that my doctor noted that cued him to finally diagnose the Sjogrens. I have to eat gluten free and the mouth problems force me to choose soft foods and sometimes Ensure for a meal.

I checked my toothpaste and it looks o.k. My mouth is too dry and painful for the soda and I need the enzymes from the Biotene toothpaste to protect my teeth. Sjogrens sufferers have major problems with their teeth decaying.

I appreciate your help tho.
