Trouble with taking meds in applesauce

I need your help! I have to crush a lot of pills and take them with applesauce. The taste is terrible and it's starting to irritate the lining of my throat. Any suggestions on how to take them? Thanks, Kathleen

Kathleen, I had the same problem. I switched to baby food peaches and it seemed to work alot better for me. Good Luck, hang in there! Best wishes, Deb

Hey Kathleen, I hear pudding works well too. Good Luck!

My pharmasist told me that chocolate in any form is the best "mask" for crushed meds. Good luck finding what will work for you ... and remember ... this stage will be over soon. I had to hold on dearly to that when I went through it ... I hated the crushed meds/pureed foods phase. Other people sail right through it.

I used applesauce for three months. Now I will never again have applesauce in my lifetime. yuuccch.! I would try one of the sugar-free puddings. But in all honesty, nothing will make crushed pills taste good. It is just something that is required and you need to smile a lot and realize it will be over soon. Rob

Kathleen, To be perfectly honest, I tried the applesauce, fresh crushed pineapple and my protein drink. Nothing made that nasty Actigall taste good. So I waited til 1 month and started taking the capsule whole. Sorry guys I couldn't tolerate it at all. I just finished my 6 monthsof Actigall (minus the 1st month.) Thank God it's over. Good luck.
