Meds..

I'm two weeks post op (Monday) and I still have meds to take for the h pylori bacteria (I think that's how it's spelled). I haven't been taking them as regularly because I have to crush them and open the capsule and take the powder. I need suggestions. I've contacted the dr just about every day since I've gotten my meds and they say I have to suck it up. Has anyone had this problem? Did you take the pill whole and felt fine after?

I was taking the capsule whole at 2 weeks (im 4 weeks out now), otherwise i would vomit. that stuff is nasty!! Good luck!

I was taking all of my pills whole day 1 post op. they got stuck a couple of times and caused the slimes. I learned to take them with milk and slowly and have been fine since.

I've been too scared to take the capsule but I am going to do it today. Opening up the capsule is by far the nastiest thing. :/

The pills got stuck? It never occurred to me that that can happen! Was it painful? Did you taste it either way?
