A member asked:
Why is my saliva watery i mean its very light + i have gerd could it be the reason ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: Gerd increases production of watery, alkaline saliva to help wash away and neutralize acidicmaterial in the eesophagus. Saliva is usually pretty watery in general.
