Wheat Grass Pills and Dry mouth?

So I started taking wheat grass pills about two weeks ago-purchased from whole foods. I started noticing I had really bad dry mouth especially when I talked alot (which in my job I am basically talking and meeting with different people all day long.) Anyway I did not really connect the two at first and just thought I was dehydrated. But today I did not take them just to see if maybe that was the cause and what do you know no dry mouth really at all. Is this a common occurance for those who take wheat grass? Anyone know if the liquid or powder kind is supposed to be "better?" I am just confused as to how wheat grass would cause dry mouth..........TIA!

    My first guess is that it's doing something to your hormones.  I don't know what wheatgrass is supposed to do, but whenever I have been on Clomid or Lupron I get horrible dry mouth.  It also happens with my dad and his Parkinson's drugs (which alter his dopamine in his brain).

     

    I have found that Biotene mouthwash for dry mouth (available in most drugstores) is WONDERFUL in making it go away somewhat.

    Thanks for the advice. I will have to check that mouthwash out. I guess I thought that since it is "natural" it was a little strange. I am going to ask my Acupuncturist about it on Friday when I go back. I have never taken Clomid or any other IF drug yet so it will be interesting to see how I will respond to any of those.......

    I've never had dry mouth while on wheat grass. In fact, I haven't been very good about taking it while on this break and right now I've had the worst dry mouth ever!

    Hmmm...I haven't noticed dry mouth as a side effect to wheat grass.  I've taken both the pills, powder and shots and never noticed that as a side effect.  It seems kind of strange just b/c wheatgrass is essentially vegetables which don't really give a dry mouth side effect.
