Why does my mouth get drier the more water I drink?

Answer 1

you may possibly be dehydrated and you might want to consult a physician or something else could POSSIBLY be going on so either way talk to your family doctor just to be safe

Answer 2

I have been looking for a message board to post on because the last time I went to a party and brought up the topic, everyone there suffered from the same problem - dry mouth, and we are not all on the same medications, and we are not all diabetic. It's not a matter of thirst, its a matter of perpetual dry mouth, and nothing seems to help. Doctors inevitably resort to the most logical - medication. The young people at the party were not on any medications. I have tried switching waters, I have tried everything including eating citrus fruits to stimulate saliva production, which only lasts about as long as any other remedy, about an hour. Please email me directly: feleciakiwak @ yahoo.com

Answer 3

As another poster Lady Luck answered I would speak to your Dr because this can be a sign of Diabetes. Always being thirsty, dry mouth, frequent trips to the washroom (also if the water tastes "funny" - caused by acetone build up) It could also be a medication I know that sulphur based antibiotics say to take with plenty of water, and they can leave you fairly dry in the mouth too.

Answer 4

Have you been tested for diabetes? Are you on any medications that list "dry mouth" as a possible side effect?

Answer 5

I blame the joint you just got through smoking.

That stuff causes dry mouth.
