Omeprazole - need help taking

[regnamie 6]

I am struggling pouring the capsules on my pudding. I am four days post op and tried mixing with Water but they didn't dissolve. I tried pudding today an it was terrible. I had to choke down. Any other ideas?

Regnamie I don't know if this will help you but I just open the capsules into my mouth and then swallow some Water to move it around and drink it down.

Nothing tastes good with it! I put it in apple juice and that was the best I could do. After my one week visit to the doctor he said it was ok to take the capsules ! Good luck my sleeve was 1/25

I am allowed to take the capsule whole.

I use 2 spoons. I take one and cover it in sugar free cool whip. I pour the the cap out then cover it with more cool whip. Works like a charm.

I just chewed mine, then added a swig of Water.

My husband pours the beads over 2 tablespoons of SF Jello. I just do my best to get them all down. I was told they are time released so they won't dissolve in any liquids.

I take all my pills whole and two large Vitamins since 1 day post op. I haven't had any issues.

I took mine whole from the get go after surgery. No issues!

I also swallowed mine whole. No problems. Good luck. Congrats on your surgery.

Ask your doctor for a different drug. There are many proton pump inhibitors (PPI) available. I take pantoprazole and that comes in a small, coated tablet. Very easy to swallow.

Omeprazole is crap! It never helped me. I also took Pepcid which isn't much better.

Today I tried good old fashion baking soda and Water. I got instant relief.

Looks like I'm going to have to manually manage the acid in my body by sipping lemon Water all day, taking organic apple cider vinegar in distilled water mornings and evenings, and adding herbal tea digestive enzymes daily. Lemon water keeps your body alkaline naturally, apple cider vinegar kicks acid in the butt, and the herbal tea digestive enzymes aid with proper digestion.
