i need fat foods

I want any cake????any Cookies???is it possible???What to eat to gain weight ???Please helpmy friend  Thank you

I wouldn't worry about Lymphoma, only 5% chance of it developing if you do indeed have Sjogren's.

You can eat whatever you want to gain weight, though some here are on special diets to try to control inflammation.

It's always safe, healthy and fattening to eat avocados and nuts. 

Also cooking with olive oil or coconut oil. They're fillled with healthy fats.

As far as you sinuses, I have the same problem and have found that what works best for me is what they call a "HYPERTONIC" sea water solution spray.

HI SHIR THIS IS THE THIRD DAY MY THROAT IS DRY ALSO TIGHT....IM TRYING TO RELAXX.  I need to see immunologist.. I hear there is medicine to produce saliva??????I wonder if itwouldhelp.. shouldi be drinking a lot of water or honey and tea??????I use biotin every one spray oil tooth paste......Please advice Thank you and i need to get through this

Hi Suncat, if you suspect Sjogren's you should see a rheumatologist. There are specific tests for this. Tight throat is usually a symptom of anxiety and many of your other symptoms could also be attributed to anxiety. Relaxing is very important, any way you manage to. Drinking water is always a good idea. The medication Pilocarpine is for moisture glands and could help produce more saliva, though docs don't usually prescribe it unless they highly suspect Sjogren's.

Good luck!

Hi Sheila,

The mucos issue sounds alot like lactose intolerance.

Have you had allergy testing done? All your symptoms could be that.

I can't take Pilocarpine- bad side effects.

Treating the anxiety issue might help. Worth giving it a try. Everything gets worse with stress and anxiety, it's a trigger.
