I have not been diagnosed with candida, But, I have a sweet tooth for sure!! I am trying pur gum to remedy this for myself. But I'm just wondering if anyone else has this too. Since through research I've found candida can make an issue in the bile ducts if left unchecked for sure!

Dry mouth is a common symptom for people with Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC), often due to Sjögren’s syndrome, which affects the glands that produce saliva. This dryness can lead to discomfort and sometimes a white tongue, which might be mistaken for candida. Here are some tips to manage dry mouth:

- Chew Gum or Suck on Hard Candy: Preferably sugarless or low-sugar options, especially citrus-flavored, to stimulate saliva production.
- Use Saliva Substitutes: Available by prescription or over-the-counter.
- Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day.

If the problem persists, consult your doctor for further evaluation and treatment options.
