Dry mouth can't taste

[debs2011]

Hey, i'm back on the dukan after giving up before. I'm on day 9 and have lost 7lbs. The thing is my mouth is so dry all the time and i can't taste any food. Also my smell is gone too. How long will this last would you think?

Im not sure if this is a common thing to happen because of dukan. Maybe you've got a cold x

I had a cold already and was just getting over it when i started dukan.

Increase your water intake.

It passes hun. I had unquenchible thirst for 2 daysstraight even though i was drinking 3 litres a day. Chewing gum and fizzy juice can help.

Ok will do, i don't think i've been drinking enough water as i find it hard to, waters so boring! Its the not being able to taste food that i hate the most.

I can confirm that it will pass.
Maybe try some herbal tea?
