Banders - how do you deal with gross mouth after eating

While I love my tuna, not being able to clean out my mouth after makes me crazy. I have tried rinsing but it's not enough! Sometimes with spicy food I feel like I am dying and just give in an drink a small amount. I also chew gum, but wondering what others do especially after lunch when you might have meetings or work closely with someone.

  • My Dr advised that I can take a few small sips but not to swallow too much or to make a habit out of it. It works for me so far. I have the same problem if I eat anything spicy.

    I don't usually have a problem (I guess I make enough saliva to handle it), but sometimes I take small swallows. I've learned my lesson about large swallows -- they hurt.
