- classic case of Sjogren’s with ANA, and salivary gland biopsy positive

- after 12 months had xerostomia (dry mouth), glossitis, and glossodynia ( dry tongue issues)
- Took bovine clostrium (Lactobin®N, 7 g daily) along with vitamin d 2000u
- symptoms then gradually faded.
Comment – German article so don’t have any other info but maybe something for Sjogren’s patients to try.
