For those interested I am still battling hypersalivation and increased salinity causing taste changes. This drastically effected my taste and pipe smoking. After multiple doctors and stopping all medications for 2 months I still suffer from it. I recently researched and discovered that alcohol sugars, particularly Xylitol, can cause hypersalivation. No doctors pointed this out or were aware. I am now eliminating all foods that contain Xylitol or Maltitol. What occurred is that I love sweets and when my doctor informed me I was pre-diabetic in February I stopped sugar and starting eating and using these substitutes. I will update everyone in another month or so to see if my problem clears up.
