Before runs, long runs especially, I'll drink a lot of water - sometimes too much, and my stomach feels bloated... the only thing is, my throat will still feel dry and I'll feel thirsty in the sense that my mouth is dry, even though I just drank a lot of water. How do you combat this?
happens to me, its mostly the upper throat and mouth. i take in some water and swig it around to get my whole mouth and top of throat wet, and then i spit it out so i don't have too much water in stomach. you can do this as much as you want since you will never drink too much water to give you an ache on your run this way
Xylitol peppermint gum.
Spry brand is nice. Stays peppermint-y a long time. Xylitol is an oral moisturizer.
I never run long (or a race) without it.
Hydrate around the clock. Takes time for water to get from stomach to your muscles, etc. Steady supply rather than just a bunch before working out.
Your mouth is not dry due to hydration levels. You're better off chewing gum or sucking on a sour candy to let your salivary glands moisten your mouth.

Get your electrolye consumption together.Preferably with fruits and non iodone salt like hymalayian pink salt
Also it might be kidney toxicity from having to clean so much. For this buy 4oz of organic chanka piedra liquid and drink a bit more of the recomended , you will flush the kidneys and be better hydraded/
Clean out the dust from your habitation.
You are plenty hydrated, probably too much if you feel bloated. Thirst is the first symptom of mild dehydration. If you are ever wondering if you are dehydrated ask yourself if you would drink warm water. Usually when people think they are thirsty they just want the cooling effect of ice cold water.
Anyway, you mouth is dry likely because you live in a dry climate and you are respiring a lot.
you could:
a. chew gum
b. close your mouth
c. harden up
