poptarts 13 months ago

I just this minute did this- and it worked like a charm!

1. acquire a poptart (try a frosted one)
2. tear off a bite sized piece.
3. place pill in between the layers (in the gooey yumminess)
4. place the poptart on your tongue. RELAX.
5. chew the edges (dont chew the middle or you will feel the pill)
6. mush the poptart between your tongue and the roof of your mouth.
7. When it feels comfortable, swallow normally. Relax, and don’t think about it! try reading during this, or doing some other pointless task (typing, for example.) Concentrating on something else will help!

I always had trouble with this 20 months ago

If you have a mouth full of food, and right before you swallow, you throw in a pill, you should have no problems. You won’t even know it’s there.

lol.. i had to take childrens cough medicine cuz the pharmacist couldnt find ne thing better:(



i actually just learned how in january 2 years ago

it use to be impossible for me to swallow a pill (even tiny ones) so my parents decided to ask my doctor (they didn’t ask until i actually started developing problems with swallowing food) and we found out that my esophagus was actually really swollen and irritated. so they made me learn to swallow these teeny tiny pills and they have worked wonders. i can eat a meal without feeling like i’m going to throw up half way through the meal and i can swallow any form of pill. most of the time not being able to swallow a pill is all in your mind, but sometimes it can be something serious.

Difficulty swallowing pills no more! 3 years ago

I have had trouble swallowing pills since I can remember. Crushing, splitting, mixing with juice or water. Nothing seemed to work, and I had a horrible gag reflex.

I found a product that really made it easy. Maybe it will help some of you too. It’s called Spray n Swallow at http://www.spraynswallow.com

I liked the wintergreen. I am really happy I can swallow pills now, because I am so embarrased from asking if a medication comes in a liquid form. And when it does – oh my it tastes bad.



whoa 3 years ago

i got some pills. they are circular but not too small. AND I CAN SWALLOW THEM. the doctor lady told me to put them on the side of my tongue, and it WORKS! not sure if that’s the reason it works, or if they’re just small enough, of if i suddenly rock… hopefully i suddenly rock.

i don’t remember how, but one day i could just swallow them. it’s totally worth it…i remember once in high school (two years ago) i needed tylenol, and they had to go to the elementary school to get some i could take.

a little embarrassing.
