    Weird question

    Has anyone had this problem? My mouth is extremely dry. I am not dehydrated because I am drinking more than ever, and yesterday, my lips actually cracked at both corners. Also, food tastes funny (the first couple of bites) Any ideas? This is freaking me out...

    This only happens to me when I use a toothpaste that is too harsh, for example arm & hammer baking soda one. Some toothpastes are more drying than others. Could toothpaste be the culprit?

      Dry mouth is one of the side effects of ketosis! Make sure your drinking enough and smile! It is a good thing. Some people have a metal taste, others have a sweet taste, others have nothing at all. Thirst is also a side effect of ketosis.

        It truly sounds to me like dehydration. The Atkins plan has diuretic properties. You need a LOT of water. Just when you think you've drank enough, drink some more. LOL

        How much are you drinking? I drink in excess of 125 ounces per day. More if I'm exercising, and sometimes I can still get a bit dehydrated drinking that much.

          I think you are right...I have been drinking, but less in the last couple of days (so busy at work, no time to pee) I will up the water and the phone can wait...thanks!
