Gel Cap Vitamins are killing me!

Anyone have any suggestions for getting vitamin E without the little jelly capsule? I can get all of my other vitamins and supplements down but that one gets really stuck. Thanks

Actually, I just use my sharpest knife and squeeze the gel cap then POKE! I just put it over my Breakfast, or in something I'm eating or drinking. It's a pain, but I too get stuck with gel caps.

I get about 200mg Vitamin E per day with 2 Children's Chewable Multivitamins from CostCo. They taste like Flinstone's, go down super easy, and give me almost everything I need. Add two calcium chews and some sublingual B12 and I'm vitamin'ed up! Check out the Children's Chewable Multivitamins... IF you take 2, you can get mostly everything and don't have to worry about it getting stuck.

watch out for the gel caps! i took an advil cold pill gel cap and it got stuck and i was so sick for days of not eating. even water didn't work. then i had to have a complete unfill. i try to avoid them now.
