A bit of a homework question and I only found one possible syndrome namely Sjogrens. Anyone else have a better syndrome that fits?

Seems idiopathic is the main "cause".

and although Sjogrens CAN be a cause, there may be a few others. (see link).

Thanks. Another question that I had was what was the most common cause. Anyone have a non-idiopathic cause that would seem to be the most common. I saw what the causes are, but just not sure of the most common one.

Sjögren's is what I was thinking when I opened the thread based on the title. Infection (suggested here, PDF) or dehydration could probably predispose to it.

Turns out that it was actually mealtime syndrome. Too little information to suspect Sjogren's apparently.

Is that the one where they have really bad pain if the person goes to someplace like a bakery?
