HEY FELLOW SUFFERERS,
I DID SOME RESEARCH ON TOOTHPASTES AND FOUND THAT PHOSPHATE CAN CAUSE THIS PROBLEM. MOST TOOTHPASTES HAVE TWO KINDS OF PHOSPHATE BUT PEPSIDENT AND AIM HAVE ONLY ONE KIND. I'VE BEEN EXPERIMENTING WITH PEPSIDENT AND HAVE HAD GOOD RESULTS. MY DRY MOUTH HAS DECREASED CONSIDERABLY AND THE PEELING IS DOWN TO A MINIMUM. MOST OF THE TIME THE LINING FEELS SILKY LIKES IT'S SUPPOSE TO BUT I FEEL LIKE THERE'S A POSSIBILITY THAT I HAVE SCAR TISSUE FROM BITING FOR SO LONG. IT'S EITHER THAT OR ANOTHER ALLERGY TO SACCHARIN WHICH IS IN MOST TOOTHPASTES. I'M IN THE PROCESS OF TESTING MYSELF FOR THAT. GUESS WHAT, I JUST CHECKED MY COFFEE CREAMER AND IT HAS PHOSPHATE IN IT ALSO. I WONDER HOW MANY OTHER FOODS HAVE IT. THIS COULD BE THE BIG CULPRIT. PERHAPS WE'VE ALL SUDDENLY DEVELOPED AN ALLERGY TO PHOSPHATE. I'M TESTING ONE OTHER THING - SODIUM. I TRIED TO USE BAKING SODA FOR A FEW DAYS TO COMPLETELY ELIMINATE THE PHOSPHATE BUT THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO WORSEN AGAIN. BAKING SODA IS SODIUM BICARBONATE. I'VE STOPPED USING SALT ON MY VEGGIES, GOD KNOWS, WE GET ENOUGH IN OUR FOODS. I'M GOING TO TRY THE BAKING SODA AGAIN TO SEE IF I GET THE SAME REACTION. THESE ARE SOME IDEAS FOR EVERYONE TO TRY TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM DISSIPATES. IF ANYONE GETS POSITIVE RESULTS WITH THESE TRIALS OR ANY OTHER EXPERIMENTS, PLEASE POST THEM FOR THE REST OF US SUFFERERS. GOOD LUCK!!
PS. SORRY MY FIRST RESPONSE GOT POSTED THREE TIMES, IT WASN'T SHOWING UP ON THE LIST WHEN I CHECKED IT.
