Crushed Pills--Nasty



Recommended Posts

Can someone please give me a suggestion as to what I can mixed "crushed" pills in so that they don't taste as bad...after taking one the other night I almost thought it was easier to deal with the pain than to swallow that pill.

Motts apple sauce from Walmart, cheap and very low calorie. I only use a tablespoon or so.

Thanks Rojasanoll. I usually have that because my son loves applesause and I seriously doubt he'll miss a tablespoon. :)

Why not just break them instead of crush them. I was told pills the size of an m&m is okay.

you can add it in applesauce like rojo said or in drinks. i just pretty much do the mash to powder and chug it down w/water or my crystal light and deal with it. whatever works

I use those little cups of chocolate pudding. I take about two tablespoons out. Applesauce is good too but I found the chocolate to hide the powder taste more.

I was recently "filled" and tend to get stuck kinda quickly. I thought that crushing the pills--that don't come in liquid form--would be good until I get used to this restricition level.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
