Eileen,

How many pills did you take at once? I'm inclined to toss a handul of

whatever down, and if I'm not sitting up straight (or better, standing),

they don't want to go down sometimes. My solution is plenty of liquid and

only a couple of pills at a time.

The gel-caps, which generally have less probability of illegals than most

tablets, can stick together in a lump if there are too many of them and

not enough water.

If they do get stuck, try standing up straight, raising your arms above

your head, and stretching, like you're trying to touch the ceiling. This

can often-times change the positioning so they'll go down... but boy, is

it unpleasant when it happens!

i think the pills were just the icing on the cake - i am REALLY careful and

paranoid with pills (much better swallower than in the past, but not my choice)

anyway, I did 1 at a time and other times i've felt that stuck thing but it left

after a lil while - this is almost better but i've got on/off nausea - lil

burning in the throat etc so maybe i'm just in a rut from my period?? i get a

lil off but not usually this way at period time?? i'll give it a few days -

thanks for stretching idea for future reference
