Often, capsule casings are the offenders. If you have patience and can stomach the taste, you can pull them apart and discard the casing-just take the powder inside with a couple of tablespoons of water mixed in. But generally, I always take them after food. I make it a routine now everyday. I have my huge stash of pills ready at meal times and once I'm done eating, the pill swallowing marathon starts!zengirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18244609166298603742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1120095500337442194.post-58860118269516859112010-09-08T09:15:34.560-07:002010-09-08T09:15:34.560-07:00I used to have a serious problem with taking pills...I used to have a serious problem with taking pills - nausea and all that, but not as much anymore. Maybe it's the type of pills I was taking before? A lot of pills supplements contain fillers and even gluten, which may have upset my stomach, and now all of mine are gluten-free and with very minimal or no fillers (like Standard Process brand from my doctor). I try and take things with food, or before bed (like my multivitamin) - that way at least if I have a little nausea I'm asleep :).<br /><br />Have you seen this multi before? It has all sorts of good things and is good as a prenatal as well - http://www.drrons.com/docs-best-multi-vitamin-mineral-antioxidant.htm<br /><br />That would pretty much knock out everything on your list in one pill :).<br /><br />As far as probiotics go - sometimes it helps to start small. If it's a capsule with powder inside, you can even split the dose and work your way up to a whole dose over a couple weeks. Or faster if you're feeling up to it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
