Ha, I like that. I'm definitely an advocate.

I saw someone post this on another forum, supposedly it's like the ultra vitamin/supplement combo lol, seems excessive, but I would try it if it wasn't too expensive.

2x400mg Magnesium Oxide
1x100mg CoQ-10
2x500mg Taurine
1x B-Complex Vitamin
1x100mg 5-HTP
2x10mg Vinpocetine
1x100mg DMAE
1x500mg L-Tyrosine
2x350mg Choline
1x Omega-3 "950"
1x200mg Alpha Lipoic Acid
2x Glucosamine Chondroitin MSM

Wow. Now THAT'S a lot of vitamins!

I take so much because my diet sucks. Me and food just don't get along for the most part. Now-a-days, my diet consists of:
1 can smoked oysters, when I wake up, with half a packet of saltine crackers
1 can smoked oysters, before I go to bed, with half a packet of saltines lol
If I get the munchies, I eat veggie chips and all of that still ends up giving me acid reflux so much I can only sleep sitting up. But it's better an acid attack than a gallbladder attack!!!!

Then once or twice a week I'll have a garden or chicken salad from Sheetz or BK.

How's your sodium intake?

So why do you eat the oysters if they are bad for your acid reflux?

You should just get your gall bladder removed. My mom did, and she's so much healthier now.

I also have trouble swallowing pills, and I use one of the following two methods:

1.) Drink it with a mouth-full of coke, fanta, etc. Because flavored soda helps me swallow it, since I focus more on the taste of the drink rather than the pill in my mouth. When I drink regular water, I can't do it that easily, if at all. If this doesn't work, try the following:

2.) Before taking the pill, have two or three spoons of honey, so that you get really really thirsty. Then, have another spoon of honey, but don't swallow it completely. Swallow only half of the amount of honey, leaving some in your mouth. With some of this honey already in your mouth, put the pill in your mouth, and then flush it down with water. This works for me, because your thirst gets really strong, and then you focus on the water quenching your thirst, instead of feeling the pill on your tongue.

Hope this helps.

This is a problem that poses great medical inconvenience. I don't find the funny side in my inability to take mainstream types of medication properly, no.

Have you tried the methods I posted above?

Jeez, loaf, have a sense of humor. You gotta learn to laugh at yourself...taking everything so seriously all the time will get you a heart attack at 40. It's not like everyone in this thread hasn't already provided a magnitude of great advice. Lighten up little buddy.

But still he isn't an asshole, it's a witty, comment, it doesn't matter who it is, if he said it to somebody else YOU would find it funny

I guess humour is sometimes a tough pill to swallow.

Oh I see, because I'm not amused that the first response I get to a serious question is an outright troll attempt, I have no sense of humor? Right.

Stop talking about me like you have any clue.

There's a difference between sarcasm and trolling. If I was trolling, I would've told you to down the pills with alcohol.

well if your throat is as tight as your ass, no wonder you can't swallow pills...

You are all insensitive jerks. I've posted far less severe "joke" comments in topics in help and health sub-forums and I've been slapped by staff. I don't think you quite understand.

He made a post that was all in good fun and you overreacted and posted a rude remark. That's the only reason they continued to pester you.

Also, no one calls a brony like Marvo an asshole. No one.

Hmmm, now I can't tell if Loaf is honestly butthurt to no end or if he's just trolling everyone.

Fine. If you must know. There was a possibility of having to take something for my stomach which has been messed up from anxiety due to the earthquakes and constant aftershocks which have destroyed my home city. So no, I don't find it fucking funny. Enjoy your cheap laugh.

Alright, calm down, kids. Loaf, I can move this thread to the Help subforum to filter out the non-serious replies if you'd like.

Theres enough helpful tips here, I'm sure one will do. I'd rather you just close it.

It'd be better if you'd just swallow your pride and allow us to continue making lame chokes jokes.
