Lemon tea is very good for dry mouth.

Lemon tea sounds like a good idea. Anything lemony will start the saliva.

I get the two words potassium and phosphorus switched very often. Neither is good for us and need to be watched.
Remember, I'm a 'Guy' and often wrong. At least so the Ladies say. lol
Are we yelling MERRY CHRISTMAS to each other yet?
We should be!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! I didn't mean to sound nitpicky. I wanted to double check because I love my gummis and I can be way more flexible with potassium than phosphorus right now. |

I really don't remember which the Lady Neph said was in them. The only thing that hit me HARD was that they could be very bad for me now, not being on PD any longer, yet, hopefully.
YOU, should be fine.

I thought kidney patients were supposed to stay far away from salt...

My mouth always feels like it is full of sawdust. I drink plenty (on PD and still pee) but it doesn't make any difference. What is it about kidney disease or dialysis that makes the mouth so dry?
Hello K&S, I have noticed that whenever I have a snack, which I did not cook myself at home, I feel instantly very thirsty. I have also noticed that most of all bought food contains many ingredients and they cause thirstiness to such a degree, that nothing could even quench the thirst. From these experiences I have concluded, that I have to cook everything from scratch at home and have to avoid all thirsty-making ingredients, ie, I have to cook without any salt, and without any sugar etc. This is very sad and that is unfortunately how it is ... Good luck wishes from Kristina  |

Roast lots of garlics and cook it with food. Delicious!

It took me 40 years not to add salt. It’s really really hard.

Unfortunately I am totally allergic to garlic and could not touch it ... even the faint smell of it makes me sick... |

Wife LOVES a local Chinese place. I have to admit I like it, HOWEVER, I really need to stay out of there. No matter how lite I eat at the buffett for hours later I am dried out. I don't doubt it is MSG in everything. The next treatment I am way over my usual amount.
Needless to say, we are no longer regulars there. Which sucks as we have been for a hair over 20 years already.

I have to admit that in my teens I was a huge fan of both over salting my food AND using a lot of msg. Now that I'm salt free for 2 years I admit that i still really miss MSG ... especially on beef & green salads & in my homemade salad dressings. My dry mouth seems to be medication based right now as I'm not fluid restricted yet...I'm sure that will change once I start PD & what I'm dreading the most. Giving up salt was hard, restrictions water will be worse.

I don't want to sound ignorant but what about the weather? I had to turn on our heater for the first time this year and have been crazy dry and thirsty ever since. I need to dig out our humidifier.
A humidifier works for me big time. |

Which is not to say that someone under some circumstances will have to restrict fluids on PD. If you get your prescription right with PD, it does a very good job of regulating fluid. |
