Acid reflux: Silent acid reflux is most likely cause. Only about 1/3 of people with reflux have heartburn. Highly unlikely (1-2%) that food or other allergy. May also be zenkers diverticulum.

Common, but...: These foods with high sugar and acids will stimulate salvia production, so this can be normal for you.M there is also the possibility of an allergic reaction to something in these foods and drinks. You can avoid tenses things or talk to your dentist about this and find out exactly why this is happening.
