Hi Claudia, I agree that weight loss should be your first concern now rather than the saliva glands. Dealing with a very dry mouth can be frustrating but it should not deter you from taking nutritious food to maintain your weight. A lot have been discussed on this forum about various kinds of food that can go down more easily without saliva. You should consult your doctor to find out reasons for continuously losing so much weight. The protein powder is a must now to add more nutrient in your food.
