I developed secondary hypothyroidism(actual pituitary issue) because of malabsorption from years of IBS. I have extreme dry eyes, not dry mouth. This might be causing your problem. Also, there is a website, therabreath.com, that explains bad breath caused by tonsiloliths or tonsil stones. They are white particles stuck in the back of your throat. They really smell foul. This was my problem. Look at the back of your throat for white things stuck in the nooks & crannies. I actually pick them out with a toothpick. Check out the website for more info. This may be your breath problem.

Hi,
I use Biotene Mouthwash for my dry mouth. I was so thankful for this product. It is a great breath freshener also. They also have a mouth gel but I have not tried it. I also noticed that certain drugs such as Zyrtec was causing dry mouth. I cut out all caffeine also and that helped alot. Hope this helps!
