extra saliva?

Do you wonder where the extra saliva come from? I know I find the need to spit most of my saliva out just so I don't feel the need to throw up! This article may help you understand where it is coming from. Excessive salivation is called ptyalism or sialorrhea and is more common among women suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum, a severe form of morning sickness. Although experts do not know for sure what causes this yucky problem, they believe hormonal changes might be part of the reason. Sadly I have not found anything that makes it go away.... however cinnamon gum does help. Try chewing half a stick at a time. Do not be ashamed to keep a spit cup near by!
