liquid tylenol? OMG, sick!

 well, not throwing up or anything, but totally worse than when i took it a few minutes ago!  i only had a headache, now i'm dizzy and have a belly ache.  is there something in there nobody warned me about?  (i know, i should check labels for myself...  silly me, trusting my surgeon!)

can i do anything about this?

thanks.  and, sorry i've not been posting in a while.  life, yano?

Yep...I know what you mean!  I took some a few weeks ago and dumped really bad.  Liquid Tylenol has high fructose corn syrup as one of its ingredients.  Any form of sugar like that makes me dump and it sounds like it does for you too.  I have not found a sugar free acetamenophen (sp) anywhere.  Not sure what to do now...

 oh, boy!  fun!  well, thanks for letting me know whats going on.  i guess i ride this wave, and give this stuff to someone who can use it!

thanks, karen!

I "think" if I add protein to a sugar item it helps me not dump..for example, I dump bad on potatoes but im finding as long as I eat some protein with it I don't..not sure if that is because im eating less of the potatoes or if its the combination..maybe it would help if you had some almonds or something before taking it?? I guess it would be worth a try if you have to take it..
***Im going to edit that forgot you guys are so early out! hmm maybe some cheese or some soft protein :)

Sorry Jenny, dumping is NO funny..especially early out since you don't really know what its like..at least you know that you DO dump, not everyone does so that is a blessing..

Jenny I was surprised but I was able to swallow a tylenol soon after surgery....I still havent tried giant pills but tylenols are no biggie....I bought liquid too and it sits in the cubbard!  lol.

I *thought* liquid acetominophen was going to be Da Bomb, but it makes me gag to think about it today.  I'd found a source online and ended up paying the postage to return all 10, yes TEN, bottles I bought.  Just couldn't stomach it.

What I found, at my grocery store, was their generic brand of chewable kids tylenol.  I think I had to eat 4 to get 500 mg or something like that.  They set very nicely with me and worked just fine for the couple of weeks I needed before I could take the regular pills again.

What's really nice, is that the weight loss has alleviated most of my joint pains and I've gone from 4 grams to 1 gram per day.  I'm usually only taking the 1 gram so I can maintain the shelf life level in my system so the tylenol will WORK if I really need it to. 

Good luck and hope that helps!  :-)

 you guys are just awesome!  thanks for the tips!  i should be able to swallow the pill form, i'm taking my BP meds and they are the same size.

thanks again!

That Liguid Tylenol stuff is GROSS!!!!   I thought I was going to die and get sick just from the taste....LOL

My Surgeon told me I could take anything that was the size of a piece of Good n Plenty Candy or smaller.

 thanks roz.  you're right- totally gross, even without dumping, lol.  time to stock up on regular tylenol!
