First thing I suggest you do ,is check Urines’ pH for acidity.More than likely 
it is .Get proper pH paper in .2 increments;Diabetes test strips are too 
coarse,not good.When the reading is below 6.0.then you must bring it up to a 
level of/or over 6.2.Test must be made when first arising in the morning.Also 
the saliva should be tested too.Been there and done it.Med. Drs were useless.A 
supplement I found that worked was : VAXA Buffer pH,available from iherb.Also a 
drastic change of diet is recommended.As I have said already,been there and 
done that;worked for me.
PS,Do not use metal for containing liquid,either glass or plastic [ie spoon for 
saliva] .
