Fairly obvious to me - only because I've had this problem in the past.
Raw fats are needed - the dry mouth isn't quenched by water alone. But
rebalancing the electrolytes might be needed.   "Re-lipidation" is the
name of this game...raw avocados, raw butter,  unheated olive oil, etc.
Also the extra minerals, etc. afforded by dark green vegetables would be
helpful (and especially helpful if made into juice as a form of
remediation - only because one can drink so much more of it than one can
eat).
