Alex is not as far through as you but suffers similar problems. He calls it "foam" and it gets progressively worse through the day after waking up initially with dry mouth. If he has a big day of talking, the foam often gets worse.
He also suffers taste disturbance and our nutritionist recommended zinc supplements to normalise sense of taste. Something for you to consider and ask your nutritionist or doctor about?
