Default Swallowing pills

I have Sjogrens Syndrome which leaves you with a dry mouth, dry throat and dry everything all the way down. I have started taking a small amount of yogurt and putting it in a cup. I use about a half cup of plain yogurt. (You could use any kind of yogurt) I then mix the breakfast pills & capsules in it (don't break them up or open them). Take a drink of water first then you can spoon the mix of yogurt, pills and capsules into your mouth and swallow them pretty easy. Just be sure not to chew. Sometimes I have to chase one or two mouthfuls of the mix with water. But not often. I do the same thing at lunch and again at dinner. The yogurt is good for your stomach and digestion too.
