Good Morning! I am two weeks post op and everything is going well....except taking my omneprazole. So weird I have never had a gag reflex but when i break this baby open and take it...it is all I can do to keep it in. I have tried sugar free jello, chocolate pudding, and vanilla pudding with no success. About 1 second after I take it I get the gag reflex. Is there something else I can ask my doc for or a better way to take it? Thanks All

I took liquid prilosec immediately post-op. I also had no issues swallowing small pills. So asking your doc about those things is a good idea!

They've had me swallowing the whole pill since the day I left the hospital (2 days post op). Maybe check with your doctor but you might be able to take the whole pill.

apple sauce. I happened to take protronix and they were these little beads. I put it in like a tbsp. of apple juice and took it down like a tequila shot LOL. If you are having issues definitely talk to your surgeon, though.

Ah have not tried applesauce. I will try anything to try to get it down. Mine is little beads as well and I have never tasted anything so gross! Oh and I will pretend it is tequila...that will be much more pleasurable...haaha

I believe it's a med that you're not supposed to open the capsule anyway. Check with your pharmacist. But are you not able to just swallow it?

I see the doc tomorrow but they are the ones who told me to break it open. I hope they tell me I can swallow it as it is horrible. Thanks for the help!
