marys 2 Posted May 26, 2006 My doc's nutritionist just told me to take chrominum picnolate and the instructions say - best taken with a meal. Now, my question...how do others do this kind of thing - I don't drink with my meals and try not to drink for 2 hours afterwards. By the way - the 2 hours really keeps me full longer but boy do i get thirsty. I guess I could take it after a meal when I drink but just wondering cuz i don't want it to upset my stomach or sit in my pouch without food/water. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leatha_g 4 Posted May 26, 2006 Are those really large?? I usually take my meds with something like yogurt or during my evening meal. I absolutely CANNOT take any pills alone, or even with Water alone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marys 2 Posted May 26, 2006 Hi, thanks for quick response and I'm with you - no way can i take meds without something to drink. These pills aren't huge - they are about the size of a dime and thin but not coated and woulldn't go down dry. However, you did give me a good idea and maybe i could mash them in yogurt, so thanks much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chabutter 0 Posted May 26, 2006 i have a hard time taking pills with just Water as well.. makes me want to yak them back up. Applesauce is good, maybe even a tiny swig of Pickle Juice? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iluvharleys 15 Posted May 27, 2006 Take them right before you start eating, then you won't be drinking during your meals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
