Is it normal that i produce a large amount of saliva?

On random days, for no particular reason, my salivary glands start to produce an excess of watery saliva, about a mouthful per 2 minutes over the course of several hours. I will have to either spit it out, or use tissues to soak it up. I cannot swallow it because this results in painful stomach cramps. I know the cause is not dehydration, because I drink 32-64 oz. (or 0.94- 1.89 L) of water a day. So, Is it normal? (Please comment if you know the cause or experience the same problem!)

    This actually happens to one of my friends everytime he works out. His mouth fills up with squabs and he has to spit it or because he says it makes him feel sick to swallow THAT much saliva.

    Regardless of your problem I don't think you are drinking enough water a day. I usually recomend women drink about 2.5-3 litre a day and men 3-3.5 litre a day.

    This only happens to me right before I'm about to vomit. Although that amount for that length of time sounds very strange to me.

      I agree. That also happens to me when im about to vomit and actually about the same amount too. Do you think something might cause it? Because what causes my saliva to just flood my mouth is when i smell something sweet and or sour. my mouth just pools with the stuff but its okay for me to swallow it i dont get an irritated stomach.
