    Drink water.

    Ketosis is a diuretic so drink water and get fully hydrated.

        Like Fawn said, that funky dry mouth taste is a sign of ketosis, so rejoice that you are burning fat for energy in drinking a big glass of water. As for things to suck on, my wife likes to suck on ice, but that just hurts my head thinking about it.
