Guest guest Posted May 5, 2003 Report Share Posted May 5, 2003 Thanks so much for all your helpful and encouraging replies to my earlier post today! I have a question I think you all might know the answer to. My husband is having alot of difficulty swallowing the vitamins and supplements I beleive he needs so badly - the bronchospy and the surgery he had both involved tubes down his throat - and the hospital managed to give him ' thrush' as a result of the heavy steroid they had him on (4 mg tabs 4 x a day - we've got that down to 3 mg once a day and hope to have them all gone in a week - trying to 'step down' avoiding a heavy withdrawal, stupid hospital never warns you about withdrawing from their nasty steroids!) anyway - he is having problem swallowing pills etc. I feed my scottie dog a raw diet and recently added MSN for a little limp by opening the capsule and dumping the contents into Piper's veggie mash. Sooooo I thought why not do the same with husband??? Except I give him a high protein shake everyday (vitamin shoppe enhanced whey with full chain amino acids) - I use some frozen strawberries, and one scoop of the whey protein - today I opened two 1000 mg buffered C's & two NAC's- 600mg ( I actually tasted the contents of each to see how nasty they might be - tolerable I thought mixed with the shake. Gave him vit E w/selinium, and IP 6, on the side. Question - is there any reason why I should not dump the capsules into a mix like this??? He had much less problem drinking his shake then taking the capsules. thanks guys, Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
