I was given Ursadiol pills to prevent gallstones since I still have my gallbladder. I finally got up the guts to try to take one today (they're HUGE) and I just swallowed half of one. Does anyone else have to take these things? I think I'm going to crush the other half. My stomach hurts now - and I wonder if it's just the anxiety of taking it, or if it really is too big even cut in half. Anyone?

I was given those too. But they are in a capsule..

So in the beginning I was told to mix them into some thing perhaps you can crush them? I would call your doctor tomorrow and ask.

I just saw you are a week! Yes I would crush them and call your doctor because I wasn't allowed to take pills that early out. Perhaps it was a over site on their part?

My pills are capsules and they go down very easily. Fresh out of surgery, I was horrified to take them, so I tried opening them up and pouring the powder in my Crystal Light (bad choice). My stomach didn't like it, and I was in pain lol. So finally I mustered up the courage to swallow one, and to my surprise, they went down just fine.

Here is a suggestion..try swallowing your pills while exhailing...I'm taking the bariatric vitamins and I hate pills plus the surgery makes u paranoid lol but it is the easiest thing and no pain I promise
