Anyone else not allowed to swallow their ppi whole?? I have to open the capsules and sprinkle to granules in pudding or applesauce to get it down. Seems ridiculous to me since I have been told its ok to swallow Tylenol.

I did for the first three weeks, but was allowed to swallow them whole when I hit my fourth week.

I know that I will have to open mine too, at least until I get to 3 months out. Same thing with the "anti gallstone" medicine.

I had a prescription PPI... the tablet was very small (smaller than tylenol) and I was allowed to swallow it from day 1. I'm not sure why you still have to. How far out are you? Are the capsules large-er then tylenol? Size could be a factor as you don't want the pill to get "stuck" at any point.

I will be 3 weeks on Tues.. It's about as big as a Tylenol. I am calling the Dr on Monday.. I figure if I take it in the evening then it could sit in my sleeve for a bit since I won't be eating anytime soon at that point. I dunno maybe it would still digest thru too quickly. I just can't stand gritty pudding. :-(
