Moist inside cheeks, under tongue but top of tongue is constantly very dry (food sticks to it). chewing xylitol gum doesn't help. not sjogrens. cause?

Not clear : you need to be certain this is not Sjogren's. There are other things to consider such as whether you have something like a yeast of the tongue. Has that been checked out. It could be the reason for the dryness
