Bitterness in the mouth after a meal can be a symptom of various diseases. Most often it is accompanied by diseases of biliary tract and gallbladder. Such disorders are often accompanied by disturbances in the work of other digestive organs such as the stomach and duodenum. This creates prerequisites for reflux - throwing food and bile into the stomach, esophagus and mouth.

Why do I get a bitter taste in the mouth after eating

Bitterness in the mouth after eating may occur in violation of the gallbladder and biliary tract. But the problem is that for every disease of the digestive system rarely suffers from a certain organ, usually the disease in varying degrees affects all other organs.

Including diseases of the gallbladder and biliary tract may lead to changes in the duodenum, stomach, intestines and pancreas, causing a bitter taste in the mouth after eating. According to the results of examination of patients a doctor is sometimes difficult to determine what the disease is primary and which secondary.

The mechanism of bitterness in the mouth

The movement of bile biliary pathways is influenced by pressure secretion produced by the liver. If this pressure is not present, the bile into the gallbladder does not arrive. The flow of bile in the gallbladder is also dependent on the degree of smooth muscle of the bile ducts and gall bladder.

Gall bladder - is not just a reservoir which drains bile, its main feature is that it regulates and maintains the constant pressure of bile in the biliary tract. Postprandial start gallbladder contraction and bile portion is ejected into the common bile duct, after which the volume of the gallbladder is reduced dramatically.

Biliary dyskinesia - a violation of motor activity (decrease, increase, indiscriminate reduction) of smooth muscle of the bile duct by which bile flows from the liver to the gallbladder. Most often, it is when the disease appears bitterness in the mouth after eating. Such interference can be caused by a functional state of the biliary tract (without disturbing their structure), and some organic causes, such as a tumor compressing the bile ducts.

Biliary dyskinesia often causes irregularities in the duodenum (it was called the common bile duct) and the inflammatory process in its wall - duodenitis.

Biliary dyskinesia may develop secondarily, against any other gastrointestinal disease. Therefore, a bitter taste in the mouth after eating can be a symptom of diseases such as inflammation of the gastric mucosa (gastritis), inflammation of the duodenum (duodenitis), inflammation of the pancreas Diabetes and pancreas - the things you need to know   (pancreatitis), inflammation of the small and large intestine (enteritis, colitis, enterocolitis). When you join an infection on the background of biliary dyskinesia may develop inflammation in the bile ducts and gall bladder - cholangitis and cholecystitis. In this case, bitter taste in the mouth after a meal may increase.

Some endocrine disorders (eg, increased secretion of thyroid hormone) can also lead to disruption of the bile ducts, which could result in a bitter taste in the mouth after eating. This occurs due to the continuous release into the blood by the action of thyroid hormones Thyroid hormones: mechanism of action and physiological effects   adrenal hormones epinephrine and norepinephrine, causing a spasm of smooth muscles of biliary tract.

Short-term bitterness in the mouth after eating can occur after stress How to beat stress? Create an oasis   or after ingestion of certain products (eg pine nuts).

What if there was a bitter taste in the mouth after eating

If the bitter taste in the mouth after eating there only occasionally, you can try to get rid of it by using folk remedies. The positive impact can provide infusion of corn stigmas (brewed at the rate of 2 tablespoons per cup of boiling water - daily dose). At the same time, you can take sedatives such as valerian root decoction (a tablespoon per cup of boiling water roots, hold water bath Sauna and health: the benefits and harms of bath procedures   20 minutes, strain and drink a third cup for the night).

If the bitter taste in the mouth after eating continues to disturb, should consult a doctor and undergo a complete examination. According to a survey the doctor will prescribe the necessary treatment.

Bifidumbacterin - a probiotic that is not the first decade, is widely used to treat a variety of diseases associated with changes in the composition of intestinal microflora. This is an effective drug that has almost no side effects and contraindications.

Formulations bifidumbacterin

Bifidumbacterin - a drug that contains live active bifidus, normally a part of the natural microflora of the intestine, an important function in the human body. Available drug in various dosage forms and dosages for oral administration: Dry vials and ampoules 5 doses (one dose comprises 10 ^ 7 microbial cells) in powder bag 5 doses or at 50 million CFU tablets to a single dose or 10 million CFU. For topical vaginal or rectal suppositories bifidumbakterin available in one dose or 10 million CFU. Some pharmaceutical companies also produce bifidumbakterin capsules.

Bifidum bakterin in vials and ampoules made from living biomass of bifidobacteria, which is freeze-dried in a protective sugar-gelatin-milk medium with a growing medium. Bifidumbakterin powder - this is also a freeze dried biomass of live bacteria, but purified from the cultivation medium.

Also available bifidumbakterin Bifidumbacterin - restores normal intestinal microflora   Fort - dried biomass of live bifidobacteria immobilized on a sorbent (activated carbon, stone fruit). The single dose of the preparation contains not less than 10 ^ 7 CFU, only one powder dose contained 5 or 50 million CFU. Sorption on specially prepared sorbent makes the drug more effective.

Dosage of all modern probiotics expressed in CFU - colony-forming units, ie artificial microcolonies.

Mechanism of action

Active living bifidobacteria are part of the natural human beneficial microflora. The main function of useful microflora is restraining increase of opportunistic and pathogenic microorganisms that can cause disease. Normally between conditionally pathogenic microflora and useful dynamic equilibrium exists. But in some cases (e.g., with antibiotics), the amount of beneficial microflora decreases and this leads to an increase in the volume of opportunistic microflora, some of which may be sensitive to the antibiotics. Bifidobacteria antagonize (inhibit vital functions), not only in relation to the opportunistic, but also to the pathogenic microflora, for example, to the pathogenic species of Staphylococcus, Escherichia coli, Proteus to, the agents of dysentery, and so on.

Condition, when the volume of conditionally pathogenic exceeds the normal, called dysbiosis. And as the normal microflora also carries digestive function, there are various digestive disorders. Bifidumbacterin restore normal intestinal microflora and digestive process. It activates the metabolism Improves metabolism and losing weight without dieting .

Normal microflora cleans intestine from food residues, excrement stones and toxins, which can come from food or formed in the body as a result of metabolism - These toxins inhibit the protective function of lymphoid tissue located in the intestines, resulting in reduced immunity. Bifidumbacterin helps restore the protective function of the intestine, that is, restores the immune system. In allergic diseases toxic products contained in the intestines, may enhance allergic processes, however has bifidumbakterin and antiallergic action.

• prevention of infection in the hospital and dysbiosis in patients with frequent episodes of colds.

For topical, vaginal or rectal administration as a suppository:

• vaginally: in all acute and chronic infectious and inflammatory diseases of urogenital organs, accompanied by dysbiosis and taking antibiotics;
