Causes of a sour taste in the mouth
If acid is felt in the mouth regardless of the food intake and the nature of the diet, this may indicate diseases of the liver and its ducts – the biliary tract. Bile, produced in the liver in increased volumes, does not have time to be properly and timely disposed of, its excess enters the stomach and rises through the esophagus. This is how acid appears in the mouth. Other causes of the condition include:
- gastritis with high acidity;
- stomach ulcer;
- caries;
- gingivitis and other diseases of the oral cavity;
- individual features of the structure of the digestive system.
Pregnancy may be the cause of a sour taste in the mouth in women. As a result of hormonal changes and pressure of the uterus on the stomach, digestive juice can enter the esophagus and oral cavity. Heartburn is a companion of this condition.
A sour taste with bitterness indicates a violation of fat metabolism and liver damage. Acid with sweetness can be the cause of the development of diseases of the oral cavity, intoxication of the body, latent diabetes mellitus. Sour-salty indicates problems with the salivary glands, otolaryngological pathologies, may be the result of drinking a large amount of strong coffee or tea, smoking.
Have a sour taste in your mouth? The reason may lie in the diet.
Scientists from the US Northwestern University have conducted a series of studies trying to find out why some people like the taste of sweet, while others are drawn to the sour. Researchers have tried in vain to pinpoint the cause in the genes responsible for taste. However, the answer turned out to be much simpler. Through long scientific experiments, they came to the conclusion that people’s taste preferences are based on what emotions they experience from the use of a particular product. Thus, some people enjoy the sensation after drinking a cup of coffee, while others are excited by the sour aftertaste after a lemon.

– Diseases of the digestive system are accompanied by a sour taste, which appears soon after eating or in the morning. The point is the increased acidity of the stomach, which also leads to heartburn and constant nausea. If you are familiar with such conditions, you should be examined by a gastroenterologist, to exclude ulcers and gastritis. A feeling of heaviness after eating, pain under the ribs on the right side and persistent acid in the mouth are signs of problems in the biliary system. Unpleasant taste sensations can appear due to dental problems (stomatitis, periodontitis, caries and others), as well as metabolic disorders and pregnancy. In the latter case, if there is no abdominal pain, you should not worry – this is a normal reaction of the body.
