Oh my gosh man you are such a lifesaver, I've always been embarrassed to struggle swallowing pills, I learnt how to swallow small pins but I recently got a throat infection and my doctor prescribed capsule sized antibiotics and I've been gagging everytime I try. I used the lean forward technique, and I was stunned on how easily it passed. You are such a life saver thank you🙏🏽🙏🏽

So grateful for this! All my life I have struggled with large pills - gagging and retching which leads to significant anticipatory anxiety. Prescribed a course of huge capsules this week - 4 twice daily and dreading it. Just had the first 4 using your head down technique. Amazing! Slipped down a treat. Really, I cant thank you enough Abraham!

I got these BIG horrible tasting pills from my doctor, I took one & it got stuck in my throat, it was awful. I finally got it to go down but the taste was terrible & I am supposed to take 20 of these 🤮 & I needed to figure out the best way so I decided to try applesauce. I got a regular spoon & scooped out the applesauce, put one big pill in the middle of the sause & covered it, put it in my mouth & swallowed it, washed it down with milk, you can use water if you don’t like milk. Anyway, it all went down & I never tasted the pill at all . Thank God. Hope this helps.

I’ve tried both methods many times, and they don't work for me. I have even tried practising with m&m’s, and still, I could not get either way to work. Pills just get suck on the tongue, and it won't relax to let them go down. They end up sitting in the back of my mouth or sliding forward. By that point, they are already starting to break down / devolve in my mouth due to water/saliva, and then my gag reflex kicks in; I end up spitting them out, or if by chance it makes it past the tongue, I end up vomiting it back up before it even gets to my stomach. I just can't get them passed the tongue. Can you give some insight into why this is happening to me? And any other suggestion I could try? I really need to be able to take tablets and capsules as I have complex regional pain syndrome and need to be able to take proper analgesics. Thanks.

@zompigekibbeling4067 ай бұрын
I have tried both but I am still having trouble. I’d say I’m mostly just scared of choking so as soon as I put the capsule in my mouth it gets really hard to swallow in general. If I do manage to swallow, the capsule just gets blocked by my tongue or sticks to my palate. When I tried the leaning forward method the capsule sometimes floated towards my teeth which made it even more difficult to swallow (if it didn’t do so it was blocked again). Well, I’ll keep trying and hopefully manage to swallow my medication soon.

Also when you use the forward tip method I like to shake my head left to right once or twice to be sure the entire pill is wet in my mouth. I’ve had one have a dry patch and it gets stuck every time. So place pill on tongue. Put water in mouth, tilt forward then a quick gentle left right motion to gently roll that pill around a bit then chin fully forward and swallow. I also pretend in my mind that the pill is really just a sweet candy peanut m&m when I swallow. I say hey it’s just a yummy big M&M you’ve got this! 💜

Hey yeah! That's what I was thinking: I guess the capsules float; they're just packed in this light gelatin capsule so if you tip forward, they go up to the back. I didn't think about the air in it: that's probably the main thing! I wonder why they don't just explain that instead of making it such a mystery.

New edit below this. (Preview: the capsule-swallow method worked!) Wonderful energy and straight to the point! I guess you tip your head forward (chin down) for capsules because then they float up to the back of your throat in those light gelatin capsules? It's counter-intuitive bc they float? I have always found it helpful to put the water in my mouth first. Edit: This totally worked! Like a dream. I tipped my head forward and it floated right up to the back of my mouth and went down like nothing; didn't even notice it when I swallowed! (Referring to a capsule here. Four, in fact: huge antibiotic capsules required to be taken all at once.) Thank you!!!

After nearly vomiting after gagging from failing to swallow a pill. I’m scared to try again. I’ll report back. I don’t have a bottle so trying method two. And I’m 53! I used to gag say 1 in 5 times. But now it’s 2 out of 3 tries. And the more I gag the more scared my body is to swallow pills. 😢 I think it’s been worse since I had Covid. Wonder if there is any truth to that, or if it’s co-incidental.

@@Sameer2762 Oh! I didn't understand what you meant at all. Damp is an adjective that means moist. But you were saying a verb, an action; it sounded like tamp, or dam; I didn't even recognize it as a word or think about the description "damp". The verb is dampen. As in, make a little wet or damp. Dampen. But I guess it's too uncomfortable to use regular English, like sounding fancy or something. It's like using good posture, though: people are self-conscious about standing straight, so they hunch over instead and hurt themselves. Or maybe you just didn't know. - But thanks for explaining what you meant.
