Hi aidel.
I am the same way. Once you experience that gag reflex, it seems there is always a hesitation thing before swallowing pills.
Here is what I do with vitamin pills:
1. I try to get them in liquid/drops form like Vitamin D and Dr Garlic and stuff.
2. If I have to take the vitamin as a pill, I use orange juice. It is thicker and helps the pill go down without getting stuck from a reflex thing.
3. If it’s a capsule, I open it up and mix it with apple sauce or yogurt.
4. It it’s a tablet, you can get a crusher and crush it up.
5. Sometimes I just bite the thing and be sure to drink juice because they invariably taste horrible.
I wish taking pills was not such a big deal. I try to relax and realize that I swallow food pieces larger than a pill. It seems like an involuntary reaction. I guess that is what you get too.
Hatzlacha!!
