So I went to the doctor the other day because I have very loose BM it was 4 days now its been sick found out i have a stomach infection and now I am on pills 4 times a day for 7 days I try to crush it tasted bad with water I added some flavor to it just as bad then I try to break them first half went bad then second a little better how do you guys do it if you have to I am over 6 weeks out

I know you will be better soon:) please be safe at your 5k tomorrow. Talk to you soon!!

Unless the pills are very large, you might be able to take them whole. I was given whole pills in the hospital. I'm 3 1/2 weeks out and can take my prescription pills one at a time. I follow with a bit of slightly warm water and wait 10-15 minutes for the next one. I originally took the one larger pill by breaking in half and coating the opened end with a tiny bit of butter to sort of seal it.

I'm almost four months out and still have trouble w/pills. If yours bother you, call your doc to see if you can get a liquid equivalent.

If they put you on liquid antibiotic, it tastes horrendous! I put 10 ml in 4oz cherry or grape flavored water/G2 then gave it a good squirt of the liquid kool-aid cherry or grape water flavoring to further cover the medicine taste.

Do you know that Walgreens can add flavors like grape to medicines to help with the taste, do you know if that flavoring contains sugar?

Mine had grape flavoring added. It tasted so horrible. That is why I mixed it. Otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get it down. Plus I was only 6 days post when I developed an infection so that made it harder to drink much at a time.

They usually have some that are sugar free make sure you ask Iif you ever get flavoring added.
