Carol,
I can't eat a lot of what you listed in Dr. Fine's diet. Everything has to be cooked chopped and mushy, no spices, vinegars, no nuts, no fruit (because of acid). It's pretty much a babies diet but more restricted because of gluten. I just feel that if I change my diet anymore, it will make my health even worse, because I am so limited in what I can eat. I could pretty well list on the fingers of one hand what I can eat.

Most people don't realize what severe dry mouth does. It makes you lose teeth, and it causes your mouth to be very sore. It takes saliva to start the digestive process so without it you are talking an unhealthy throat, esophagus, stomach, and bowel. You get all the problems related to that. It even causes cancer. Some people live on liquid diets just like our Kmeb here. Sorry, I'm about to get on a soapbox because of the attitude of some of our doctors about Sjogrens. Anyway, I'd rather live with the mouth burning than limit my diet any more than it is.

But thank you very much for caring enough to post.
