Meds getting stuck

[Elliemayclem 31]

Has anyone ever had problems with pills hanging up in the band? Not really stuck, just hanging there. It's mostly my omeprazole I take first thing in the morning. It's a capsule. I have no Fluid in my band right now. I've had things just barely stuck and can't eat anything for days, that's why no fluid, right now. I'm wondering if the meds hanging up is irritating my band thus causing swelling. I've tried the papaya enzyme for stuck food, could it cause swelling as well? Any thoughts?

I take that same capsule every morning and I always drink hot tea or SF hot chocolate before trying to swallow anything. No problems doing it that way.

I have to take 5 drugs morning and night but they are small, luckily and i wait a minute between. I used to be an icu nurse and we would dissolve the esomeprazole tablets in warm Water, takes about 5 mins, can you try and get the tabs, or ask the pharmastic if you can use a pill cuter to cut the tablets.

The multi vitimin i hate taking, it diesnt feel stuck, but just not right. Oh i found for antibiotics, ask for the suspention or liquid form, didnt taste half bad!! Better than the horse tablets. Sorry about my ramble! Good luck

Yes, and it is very uncomfortable until they dissolve themselves. best wishes! I use mostly chewables, now. I am only on 2 chewable vitamins a day since losing 100 lbs. Karen
