Vitamins

[Lisaw5430]

I have been cleared to start my vitamins. I have a large chewable multi. It made me gag several times. How do I get this in without throwing up? Could I crush it and put it in applesauce?

yes if it is a chewable you can crush it.

Talk to your team maybe they can recommend a different vitamin for you. I also started out with chewable but could not do it. Now have to swallow a big bill but I have no problem with the big pill anymore.

Also give it time it will get easier to get your pills down.

I agree that you can put it in applesauce since it is a chewable. Also, are you taking it with a meal? I have to take my vitamins with food or it makes me nauseous.

My doc told me I'd have to take TWO multis a day for the rest of my life. I use Trader Joe's women's High-potency chewables. I put one in each cheek at the top of my gum line and let them melt down. They're very tasty, but after a while, even tasty gets weird. As soon as they're really soft, they can be gummed into paste form. Works for me.

They're very tasty, but after a while, even tasty gets weird. As soon as they're really soft, I smooth them as if they're paste. Worked for me for 14 years so far.
