Regarding dry mouth-
One thing that works quite well with people who have dry mouth -be it from
PD, G-tube, or NPO status is something called SALIVERT.  It's artificial
saliva that comes in a pump-spray container.  One or two squirts usually
lasts 6-8 hrs (so the container says).  The amount given varies from
individual to individual.  I'm not too sure if it's available
over-the-counter nor do I know the cost because I work in a clinical setting
where the MD usually prescribes it.
Hope you find this bit useful.
