Did you happen to replace the disposal prior to this? A common mistake is forgetting to knock out the plug on the disposal, where the hose attaches, stick a screwdriver inside and beat it with a hammer to knock it out.

A disposal creates centrifugal force and acts as a pump. Often a blocked or partially blocked sink drain can result in slow drains and a disposal will force water through. If it really is the disposal, try slowly adding coffee grounds and/or fibrous material like broccoli centers or pineapple centers while cold water and the disposal are running.
