Mouth/lip and Breath Issues


RG 2016

Recommended Posts

Hello - I saw very little posted on the site regarding mouth/ lips and breath issues. This is day 18 of my Whole30 and everything has gone well. However thoughout the program I have had incredible, insatiable dry mouth/lips and I wake each morning either dry and with a disgusting film in my mouth/lips. I thought this would pass in time however it hasn't diminished. As others have commented drinking water doesn't help. In fact brushing my teeth seems useless. I love the results I have seen thus far and am thinking of making this a life change after I am done with the 30. However this is very uncomfortable, embarrassing, and annoying. I am a professional business woman who talks for a living- the more I talk during meetings, presentations, etc the worse it gets. I am open to any suggestions which help to remedy the situation. An explanation would be appreciated as well. Someone mentioned increasing starchy vegetable intake- Does it help? Am I the only one w this problem? THANK YOU!!!!

Hey there

The dry mouth you describe can be a symptom of going too low carb, so upping your starchy veg will help if that's the cause, however it would be helpful if you could post a few days worth of your food & liquid intake, indicating portion sizes so that we are better equipped to help you troubleshoot.
