Two possibilities come to mind that you might want to look into.  The first is dehydration.  Are you drinking lots of water – not just liquids, but pure water?  If not, try that for awhile and see if it helps.

 

The other is Sjogren's syndrome, which is an autoimmune disorder.  Here's a link to more info on Sjogren's:  http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/sjogrens-syndrome/DS00147

 

I hope you're able to figure out what is going on.
