Finding or tasting blood in your mouth when using IQoro is probably down to one of the following three causes:
1. The gastric acid that comes up during a hiatus hernia may have created small ulcers in the mucous membrane of the oesophagus that then began to bleed. And when using the IQoro, increased pressure is created. This may carry this blood up to your mouth instead of down into your stomach. The blood is harmless and the wounds will heal when the hiatus hernia is treated and the amount of gastric acid that comes up into the oesophagus is reduced.
2. An ongoing infection of the mouth or teeth can lead to a weakened and bleeding mucous membrane. If you haven’t been to the dentist for a while, it might be time for a visit.
3. If you take medication that causes mucous membranes to weaken as a side effect, this may make the mucous membranes of your mouth and throat more sensitive to the pressure changes that training with IQoro involves.
