So, tell me, which one of these taste sensations is your new favorite?

I don't really have to crush my meds, but if I did, I supposed that would be on the list. Instead it's protien powders, lol.

I can almost guarantee that whoever is voting on other things has never had to use fleet phosphorous soda!!!!!! Believe me, I will opt out of having something done if I am ever told I have to take it again!!!!! UGHHHHH! You don't even want to throw it up because you don't want to taste it again!!!!!!

I only tried 2 Protein powders.....the 2nd was unjury and I still use it to this day. It's pretty good.

Never had fleet phospho soda, but I have had the other brand of the same stuff. I didn't have a big problem with it. Wouldn't do it now, it's carbonated.

I take my Calcium via the chewable viactiv's. They're like candy.

The chalky barium wasn't that bad, it was that other yellowy stuff (gastrographin?) that was really yucky.

BUT, THE ABSOLUTE WORST...........is crushed up meds or opened up capsules. YUCK! Fortunately, I only take one pill that is small enough that I can swallow it whole. Any other pill I have to take on occasion, I break it into small enough pieces that I can still swallow it with a drink of Water or on a spoon full of applesauce. I'd rather do that than have that syrupy sickening liquid crap as well. Once, I had to open antibiotic capsules and let me tell ya, I think I'd have rather suffered with the infection..........GAG ME!

I hve had to crush anitbiotics twice for a bad respiratory infection. Honsestly, it was the worst, most bitter thing I have ever tasted. Nothing masked it. Not yogurt, not pudding.

Hi All,

Vitamines are the worst for me. I tried the chewables; before surgery thank goodness because they made me vomit. They are too big to chew well and get down quickly.

Liquid Vitamins aren't much better but, if I chase it with some Water and a piece of gum, I do ok. I take it over the sink because if I tast it at all, I gag so bad it might not stay down.

I dont take any medications regularly and have no problems with whole pills anyhow. I expected the barium swallow stuff to taste awful but it's only the once, so definitely Protein powders/shakes for me. I will never willingly consume a Protein shake. They taste like slurping down a warm fish milkshake. Yuck yuck yuck.

I'm not a good Vitamin taker either though. I just hate the sensation of swallowing big pills.

I actually think the upper GI stuff was kinda tasty. I'm weird I know. And I don't take nasty tasting chewable calcium, I take viactiv chocolate chews. They're my little daily treat!

When I first started taking the chewable vitamin C, calcium, and Centrum, they made me gag. Now, they are a treat. Like candy. I don't even need water with them! I know, I'm weird. hehe

none of these things make me gag. i have had 3-4 fills and still take most of my pills. I take a flintstones vitamin. The protien powder drinks are a no-no with my lap band doctors, no liquid calories!!! eat high quality good food. and chew chew chew. the other stuff... don't know anything about it. Mila_cm

I'm not looking forward to the Upper GI swallow next week! EEK!

I like the Viactiv Chewable Vitamins (Chocolate)

I love the Viactiv Chewable Calcium (Caramel)!

what makes me gag the most? ANY french fries, chicken strips & chicken nuggets from chick-fil-a. I used to love chick-fil-a but I can't eat there any more.

I can start to gag just thinking of the nasty stuff for the upper GI......

The only thing on that poll that I've had the misfortune of taking was the crushed up meds....ONCE, and only ONCE!! YUCK!!! :spit:

I have a really tough time w/ Scrod & Chicken. They usually make me PB within minutes. What do you guys do when you know you took too large of a bite or didn't chew well enough? I've had some really embarassing moments w/ friends.

Not even close.....hands down the nasty barium stuff!!!! I just about spewed it everywhere! I choked it down finally because I certainly didn't want to do it again!!! :-(
