Yuk - speaking of pills - I take my womens multi in the morning and I "gag" EVERY day (lol). Hate pills. Then I "gag" on my very tiny blood pressure pill. Ridiculous Chocolate - my FAVORITE!!!! Ham and brie on an English muffin. Breakfast is a protein shake. This helps a lot with the blood sugar issues, tastes great (chocolate, of course), and is thick enough to carry my vitamins, etc. without too much bother. Why is it that the pills that are so good for us have to be the size of horse pills?

I had to eat in my car yesterday, so it was a Wendy's chicken sandwich. Today, who knows what I will find in the kitchen!
I've never had much trouble swallowing pills. But, I can give you a tip--many people tip their head back when taking pills and that actually makes the pill sort of float up & gag you. If you do that, try to not do it and just swallow the pills like they were food. I've had friends try it and once they stop the habit of the tilt, pill-taking is much easier for them. Another thing is to drink water before you take the pill to lubricate your throat a little.

Drinking plenty of water before & after you take the pill should help with the aftertaste, too.

You were so RIGHT. I took BOTH my pills YOUR way. Thank you and Yippee! No more "gag" city (lol). Drinking plenty of water before & after you take the pill should help with the aftertaste, too.

So glad to hear that! YAY! I think I'll start a post elsewhere & see if anyone else has trouble taking pills. Which forum? LOL--I'll have to go see where it might fit.
