mental block and also a horrible gag reflex when trying to swallow pills

1

Ok like I was always able to swallow pills 0 hesitation but like 3 years ago I almost choked on a Tylenol and I deadass was too afraid to swallow a pill ever again. Like i couldn’t do it. So I saw a tiktok about cutting strawberries into like micro sized pieces and try swallowing that and then try to swallow a pill-sized slice of a strawberry and it worked. And then I could swallow pills again.

I used to hate this but I take a sip of water before putting the pill in my mouth and it makes it a lot easier

When I was a kid before I could swallow pills with water I used to use a spoonful of jelly to help the pill go down since it’s easier to swallow that way since it feels less hard on the throat. In case it helps anyone

i usually don’t have problems but since i have EDS every now and then i’ll try to swallow and it just uh…..comes back lol

probably cause food is soft and goes down easier than a hard pill / pellet
