My doc's nutritionist just told me to take chrominum picnolate and the instructions say - best taken with a meal.

Now, my question...how do others do this kind of thing - I don't drink with my meals and try not to drink for 2 hours afterwards.

By the way - the 2 hours really keeps me full longer but boy do i get thirsty.

I guess I could take it after a meal when I drink but just wondering cuz i don't want it to upset my stomach or sit in my pouch without food/water.

Are those really large??

I usually take my meds with something like yogurt or during my evening meal. I absolutely CANNOT take any pills alone, or even with water alone.

Hi, thanks for quick response and I'm with you - no way can i take meds without something to drink. These pills aren't huge - they are about the size of a dime and thin but not coated and woulldn't go down dry.

However, you did give me a good idea and maybe i could mash them in yogurt, so thanks much.

i have a hard time taking pills with just water as well.. makes me want to yak them back up. Applesauce is good, maybe even a tiny swig of pickle juice?

Take them right before you start eating, then you won't be drinking during your meals.

Thanks - that's the tip that will work for me -
