In the morning, after eating or, conversely, on an empty stomach, such an uncomfortable phenomenon as bitterness in the mouth can occur. The reasons for its appearance can be very different. Far from always these are symptoms of any diseases in the body. Most often, it arises as a result of eating spicy, fried, fatty foods or after drinking alcohol. But nevertheless, in cases where bitterness in the mouth begins to bother more and more often, and a person is sure that he did not consume harmful products, it is worthwhile to seek the advice of a specialist, since one of the signs of a disease of the digestive system and gall bladder can frequent bitterness in the mouth.
The causes of it most often are problems with the gallbladder. If its normal functioning is impaired, bile can enter the esophagus and thereby cause unpleasant bitter sensations in the mouth. But the best solution in such a situation would be a thorough examination of the body to identify the exact cause. A full examination of the biliary tract will indicate the place of stagnation of bile and if the case is not dangerous, a specialist will prescribe choleretic drugs. If serious problems are found, one of which may be the development of cholelithiasis, more serious treatment may be required.
Problems with the stomach and intestines, such as a violation of proper motor activity or gastritis, can also cause a phenomenon such as bitterness in the mouth. The treatment here consists, first of all, in the passage of a gastroscopy, a complete examination of the gastric mucosa. If problems in the functioning of the body have not been identified, and bitterness in the mouth continues to bother, the reasons should be hiccuped in taking various antihistamines, therapeutic infusions with sea buckthorn oil and St. John's wort, as well as antibiotics. These substances, irritating the walls of the stomach, destroy good microflora, causing dysbiosis, the result of which is unpleasant bitterness in the mouth. Causes can also be sought in dental diseases of the oral cavity. It is possible that fillings or other types of prostheses are made of a substance that is rejected by your body. The basis may be the inflammatory process of the tongue (glossitis) or inflammation in the oral cavity (stomatitis).
Very often, pregnant women experience bitterness in their mouths. The reasons here are usually not so serious and are the result of improper food intake, its composition and quantity. The prevailing opinion that pregnant women can eat whatever they want is only partially true. This does not mean that you can eat everything in a row, mixing incompatible and swallowing whole pieces. Women in a position a thousand times more thoroughly need to monitor their health and one of the conditions for a good state of mother and baby is a comfortable regimen and timely meals. Let them be four, five or even six times a day, but in small portions. Do not rush, it is recommended to chew each piece at least eighteen times and only after swallowing. Enjoy the taste of food, drink water only before or after eating, do not go to bed immediately after dinner, move more, wear loose clothing, and unpleasant bitterness in your mouth will not bother you.
After identifying the exact causes, you can safely proceed to the treatment of a bitter taste in the mouth and most often it is easily eliminated by removing harmful products from the diet, such as bitter vegetables (radishes, garlic, horseradish and others) and bakery products. It is necessary to eat as little as possible fried, spicy, sour. For some time, you can replace the usual tea and coffee with medicinal decoctions of rose hips, elderberries, currants, mint, viburnum. Drink as much clean water as possible, it is recommended that you drink about two liters of clear, cleansing moisture per day. And do not forget that all the unpleasant phenomena in our body are a direct consequence of our wrong lifestyle.
