I have a bite of banana and chew it up BUT I don't swallow it until I've added the pill to my mouthful of banana and then I swallow it all together and I don't even notice the pill. (I also do this with chewing other food but banana works very well.)

AND myself! Margerine! Coat the pill in it and w/liquid slosh it down.
On the other hand...I always ask for 'samples' first...that way I can SEE the thing. IF too big, I go, OH! NO, NO, NO! I do not, cannot DO big pills! - My result reaction is, well, projectile vomiting...Docs after that comment try to oblige. Good luck! - j |

I use Jello. I make little cubes, stick the pill in there and swallow them whole. I also will use thick drinks, like smoothies and such. It keeps the pill from 'sticking' - I have issues with them sticking to my tongue then I gag

What I do is have a normal drink of water.
Then fill my mouth full of a big gulp of water, stuff the pill in and swallow everything. I've discovered that part of the reason that I have trouble swallowing any pill is because my mouth is too dry. Barb |

I either hide it in a tablespoon of applesauce, or yogurt.

Good question! One thing for me is not to think about it, but drink water and swallow normally. HOWEVER, I do use a non-spill squeeze cap (from the baby department) on the top of my half pint water bottle by the bed, for taking night med without waking fully. I found that squeezing the bottle forces the pill down with the water without any effort!
Hope you find something that works for you. TC. JD

Capsules and pills that floatdidn't get a mention. For those you tip your head forward so they float up to the back of your mouth.
