Read moreMagnus about the swallowing difficulties: “My partner thought I was hypochondriac”
Magnus has always been something of a hypochondriac, so when food started to get stuck in his throat and his swallowing difficulties began, his thoughts turned to cancer. He hardly thought that the solution to his problems would be a little plastic training device.
I thought that rocket salad and Parma ham would be the death of me.
“It feels really amazing to get back to my old life”
Kevin Craner was in the shape of his life when he was suddenly diagnosed with reflux. He was given medicine but the side effects terrified him. Kevin thought about whether it was possible to train the muscles and took a chance with IQoro.

Malin has suffered for many years from a chronic feeling of a lump in the throat, acidic reflux (LPR), and difficulties in swallowing solids. The situation suddenly became acute, when the food she was trying to swallow became stuck in her throat.
The doctor told me that I should understand that they couldn’t treat me for something they couldn’t see.
