RE: swallowing the biggies...Re: Vitamin Question

[Guest guest]

Tale of [half-]woe:

The Calcium Citrate tablets that I take are big. So is the

multivitamin tablet that I take. Normally, I swallow about a

tablespoonful of tablets (calcium, multivitamin, Actigal, etc.) all

at once. Last weekend, I didn't aim them all right, I guess, because

one of those biggies stuck in my throat on the way down and wouldn't

dislodge, no matter how much I drank (and drank). It was also mildly

painful, and, understandably, a bit worrisome.

Finally, I hit on an idea: small piece of vanilla cake with some ice

cream on top. Let the ice cream start to melt into the cake, and

swallow about a teaspoonful at a time. Worked like a charm, and that

is why this is a tale of only half-woe.
