Hi, This is my first post on Mumsnet and i just wanted to say how helpful it has been already. For around 2 years, my husband has been under a specialist for a mouth problem. The initial problem was with a continous salty taste, sometime so strong it made him feel sick. Then every morning the inside of his mouth would peel. Sounds gross, but he could pull long strings of skin out at a time. Although this was happening, luckily his mouth was never sore. After seeing the specialist again this week who said unfortunately it looked like something he would have to live with, I turned to google. Here, a post came up from 2015 on Mumsnet suggesting it could be his toothpast. After researching further i fould it could be caused by an ingredient SLS. So, desperate to try anything, i went and got some Sensodyne toothpaste which is SLS free. For the first time in over 2 years, no peeling skin. He could'nt believe it. Also, whethere it is a coincidence or just wishfull thinking, the salty taste, althogh still present, is not half as bad as it usually is.
So thank you for your site, and to the previous post. My husband is now a happy man.
